The bug
With the fix of MC-207605, you can now remove the Owner tag from a tamed wolf or a tamed cat using the /data remove command. However if you do that while the tamed wolf/cat is sitting, the mob while stay in sitting mode forever making it unable to move unless you hit it or you relogging.
How to reproduce
Tame a wolf with bones
When the wolf is tamed it will sit by default
Use the following command :
/data remove entity [wolf UUID] Owner-> ❌ The wolf while stay in sitting mode forever
Observed Behavior:
Wolf/cat is motionless.
Expected Behavior:
Wolf/cat while still move but sitting at the same time since we didn't remove the Sitting tag.

I don't see how this is a bug; you didn't alter the wolf's sitting state, only remove ownership. It's doing exactly as instructed.
@Dhranios Yeah but it shouldn't be motionless, I expect that it still move and sitting at the same time.
Sitting wolves/cats never move, why would you expect an untamed one to behave differently?
Them moving after relogging is a different issue: MC-278422.
After some more tests, It's possible to change the Sitting tag for a wild wolf/cat. Moreover when doing that the mob still move and I guess It's WAI. So MC-278422 should be closed instead.
