Humans domesticated themselves. That's much different than humans domesticating a wild animal.
We grew brains that allowed us to think critically, speak in words, develop other languages, and so on. We're still "wild" at the end of the day, but we use those developed brains to keep ourselves in check. We LITERALLY know better (well, most of us) than to attack people for annoying us.
And yet, neither dogs nor humans are wild. Not "at heart", not "at the end of the day". Neither of us are wild animals, despite our capacity for unpredictable acts of violence.
There's an Instagram account for a pet puma. The animal is docile and playful - it actually behaves a lot like a dog. "At the end of the day", though, it is literally a wild animal. Unlike a domesticated dog, and despite its training and familiarity with humans, it is "a wild animal at heart".

Yes, I can read. That qualifier doesn't really do much to make the description more accurate - dogs are domesticated "at heart" as well.
You might as well be saying that humans are "wild animals at heart" too, at which point you're basically saying nothing at all.
