Not all dogs are the same, of course. Some dog breeds can bite closer to 1400 newton, which is higher than wolves. We selectively breed them for chomp strength.

There’s no way a human’s bite is only 30% less than a dog’s. Our jaws have shitty leverage to chomp down hard.

It’s averaged out, the real values are in a range, they just took the average between them.

I bet chihuahuas are bringing down the average

We are omnivores and do a lot of chewing. Dogs don’t really chew, just rip.
Some great apes that have more raw plants in their diet even have a bony ridge on their skull that the jaw muscles attach to.
Our jaws actually have great leverage, our molars are very close to where the jaw muscle attaches.
