Australian Dingos maybe used to be (semi-)domesticated before they were introduced to Australia, originally having been bred in China, then gone 'wild' between 5000 and 18,000 years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingo#Origin_and_genetic_status https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingo#Origin_and_genetic_statu...). There is some research into the genome on that page, but AFAIK there is no whole genome assembly yet. You can tame those but wild dingoes are very dangerous animals, as many Australian tourists can tell you.
Zebras, on the other hand, are generally thought to be very hard to domesticate, with only a few successes of taming in the last hundred years, and zero success for domestication: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra#Domestication https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra#Domestication
