Dogs evolve from wolves thus bring forth some of their ways and as such, like wolf, are pack animals. In wolf pack there is one leader. If a wolf offends this leader it can be excluded from pack and known as a lone wolf, will have to live alone with no pack for support as it ages and no help getting food thus living on mice and bugs and no security so usually falls prey to something wanting a dinner. Dogs feel the same way you are like a god to them, you supply the food and love but if you separate a dog putting it outside at night or all the time it thinks you are angry with it and it will do anything to get back in your good graces. This includes crying, whining, barking clawing at door and if the separation continues it will develop Separation Anxiety Syndrome and will attach themselves to any human like Velcore. The dog starts to not only lose pride in itself it goes a little nuts and if they find such a willing human they won't let them out of their sight this includes perhaps crashing through a glass window if owner goes out to grocery store or to work or chewing up a couch they are so afraid of being alone like the lone wolf.
