Most likely, this would be symbiosis. This is especially true at the neurobiological level, as humans provide food, shelter, and a pack (a social structure) for dogs, and in return, dogs (try, and sometimes succeed in trying to) give us their protection, and provide a number of services for us, from herding to guiding the blind to detecting freaking illnesses with nothing but their olfactory system, and even providing bioemotional support. Have you ever had a dog lick your tears and wounds? They approach you because, not only are your tears tasty and full of salty goodness to them, but they may as well be capable of smelling and mimicking your very sadness and grief, reacting by comforting you so they can heal their own grief from watching you suffer. As a whole, they are willing to live and die to see you happy and loved, even if you're the only member of their pack. They want you to be at your full ability to feed them and love them, and they ensure that comfort by producing comfort for those they respect. There are dogs that have been heroes and villains in localized human history, all in the name of their pack, and the humans those packs contain. We've told tales of man and dog saving the world, and with good reason. And all because a small group of wolves started being less hostile towards humans in ancient, long-forgotten primordial caverns.
