For those who farm, fish, hunt and forage for a living, undomesticated or semi-domesticated plants and animals are an important source of food routinely or in hard times.
Certainly wolves, coyotes and other undomesticated members of the canine genus are quite vocal and sensitive to emotion; perhaps that's why humans and dogs made such a good team.
Undomesticated herds were chosen to become more controllable for the proto-pastoralist nomadic hunter and gatherer groups by taming and domesticating them.
