Yes, although I'd call that the opposite of a wrapper.  It's a Strategy 
pattern.

But there's no additional concurrency issues created by using it.  Just 
use Dog normally.  Your Dog class isn't thread safe as you wrote it, so 
there's no additional issues.

If you do require thread safety, protecting the field I added is no 
different than protecting the other fields in Dog.  Do it exactly the 
same way.  (How you do so may vary depending on your needs for the 
class, so there's rather more options than I'd care to go into.  Read a 
good book on Java Concurrency or read the JLS for ideas.)
