That's awfully slim pickings. It isn't made clear at all if the social status of the humans in the study is the same for the wolves as it is for the dogs, and it all turns on that.

Correct. While the wolves in the study were raised by humans, it is safe to say for example the wolves were probably not used to table scraps that dogs are usually given by the table. The treats the dogs were given prior to the study could make them look toward humans for handouts which is probably not the case with the wolves.
