Those marks are most probably claws: a wolf only bites when he gets the 
opportunity to kill (that is, neck), or when the attack will cause 
almost victory (like searing leg-tendons). When fighting a similar or 
bigger animal (as is the case of Sirius' dog), any self-respecting wolf 
which wants to keep living will NOT expose his neck (and specificly his 
jugular) to his opponent just for the sake of nibbling his back a bit.

Hope that helps
