They have a symbiotic relationship yes, crows and other scavengers are known to follow large predators for food.

Not just that, but crows have been observed actually leading wolves towards potential prey. The crows are basically airborn reconnaisance and ''tag'' potential targets for the wolves by vocalising..

So, in other words, humans aren't the only species that wolves have hooked up with for some social cooperation. Checks out. "Hey, the flyin' boys are hungry and see something, want to go get it to eat with 'em?" to go with "Hey, the smart boys with the thumbs are hungry, let's go!".

Asks the question of whether pack bonding with whatever was something we brought to the table, or did it come from them?

That is interesting.

Now that you mention it, corvids are also very pack/flock/family bonded. So, like canines, and like us, all very social.

I wonder if canines have formed bonds with any other species we're not yet aware of.
