From what I have seen, wolf tracks seem to be wide and a bit longer then a dog, with dogs being more rounded.

I had a Brittany dog with me,  she left tracks right next to the wolf track in the center of the image, just to the left.   Hard to see in the picture, her tracks are about the same as a coyote. 
You could almost put her track in one toe of the wolf print.

I live in Arizona. This would be a Mexican Grey wolf, canis lupis baileyi, which is said to be smaller than the Timber wolf.

Looks like it very well could be. Seems like every wolf track i've encountered, and that's not very many, has been an absolute no-brainer, no doubt, "holy sheep crap look at that" kind of track.

since no one wants to guess,  it's a domestic print.

Made by a BOZ Shepard.

The problem with dog prints is they are all over the map by virtue of breeding practices. Some will look similar to a wolf, some won't.

Don't you mean the USFWS Fake wolf? Some of the mutts that the USFWS bred up had so much dog in them their tails curled up, and of course had to be shot. The first thing they did with their fake wolves was dump them in the middle of cattle country, which they later admitted as not being too smart.
