No, you made a wild wolf more dangerous as it has now received food after being near a human. That wolf will now approach more people to get food.
Dog domestication took centuries to millenia. And the most dangerous predators are those that are descended from domestic or near domestic animals.

Both are true. Curious wolves approaching humans and getting/stealing food was very likely the first step in domestication.
At the same time, it still holds true that it is dangerous

Yup, plus the friendlier ones were more likely to get fed, mean ones more likely to get killed, which resulted in more or less offspring like them. Do that for generations and voila, you’re now a French bulldog
