There is no difference. "Intelligent" and "wise" are adjectives describing the same thing. But there is no such thing as "wisdom" or "intelligence". They both don't exist, therefor, they are both the same.
Would you say a dog is "intelligent" or "wise"? What makes the difference?

I would say a dog is intelligent, insofar as I was describing the dog, and not anything called intelligence.
I read your question wrong. I would say being wise is the outward expression of being intelligent.edit on 21-3-2014 by Aphorism because: (no reason given)

They exist as words, to be sure, but they are adjectives. The only thing that exists is what they are describing. When we see "wisdom", we don't see wisdom, but we see someone we think is being wise.
An example of wisdom. When it comes to intangible concepts like wisdom and truth and beauty, all we can ever see are examples of them, wisdom and truth and beauty in motion.

Is there intelligence without wisdom?

They are both variations of "knowing"? They both imply knowledge of one form or another.
