According to Wikipedia (a reliable source for over 200 years,
according to Wikipedia):
"Dogs have been mentioned as a possible client of Humanity in
several books, but their final adoption has not been confirmed."
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EarthClan#Neo-Dogs
The simple fact is that subtlety with which dogs uplifted humans
(hence, the term "wolflings") is so great that we think it must go the
other way around.

PS: Or was it cats, and the whole "wolfling" thing is further
testimony to their sublime genius.
