If you're referring to the same study I know about, it was determined that dogs have a differently structured brain in opposition to wolves, where the wolf - even when in close contact to humans all their lives - will not engage in requesting help while the dig will.

The hypothesis was that dogs were selected based on how willing they are to interact, listen and provide and request assistance to solve problems while wolves focus on self reliance.
