But that relationship’s 【C1】______ —what it is about dogs that allows them to live at ease with people—is still little understood. After all, dogs are 【C2】______ from wolves, which are big, scary carnivores (食肉动物)that would 【C3】______ have competed with early man for prey and might not have been averse (反对的)to the occasional human as a light snack.
   Unless specifically bred for fighting, dogs are more 【C4】______ than wolves, so that is clearly part of the answer. But mere docility cannot 【C5】______ for why people like to have dogs in their homes. Sheep are docile, but few people keep them as pets.
