Humans are considered to be risk-averse.
Research study has shown that dogs too believe in guaranteed pay-off over the possibility of a greater reward while wolves pursue a all-or-nothing strategy.
Both wolves and dogs were faced with the choice between an unpalatable food pellet and a 50-50 chance of either palatable meat or a stone, wolves chose the risky option in 80% of trials whereas dogs did so in only 58% of trials.
