Player armor protects against thorns enchantment damage but wolf armor does not protect against this. Everything else that the wolf armor does not protect makes sense beside the thorns effect.

Video provided. To reproduce the issue, execute the /damage command on the entity, using thorns and other damage types. Notably, when using thorns, the sound of the armor being damaged is not audible, unlike with other damage types.
Thank you for your report!

How can this be WAI? Wolf armor protects against ALL (non-enviromental) DAMAGE except thorns? How does that make any sense?
Requesting review because this seems to be a mistake. This is an extremely weird inconsitency.
I can verify the existence of this bug.
