Dog barking, All dogs bark, but these dogs bark a lot! A funny compliation of dogs barking. I wish cats could bark, but theres somthing special about dog sounds:)
A bark is a sound most commonly produced by dogs. Other animals that make this noise include wolves, coyotes, pinnipeds, foxes and cats. Woof is the most common representation in the English language for this sound, especially for large dogs. Other transliterations include the onomatopoeic ruff, arf, au au, bow-wow, and, for small dogs, yip. “Bark” is also a verb that describes the sharp explosive cry of certain animals.
Dog barking is distinct from cat meowing. Wolf barks represent only 30% of all wolf vocalizations and are described as “rare” occurrences. According to Schassburger, wolves bark only in warning, defense, and protest. In contrast, dogs bark in a wide variety of social situations, with acoustic communication in dogs being described as hypertrophic. Additionally, while wolf barks tend to be brief and isolated, adult dogs bark in long, rhythmic stanzas. Dogs have been known to bark for hours on end.
Why Do Dogs Bark?
Dogs bark for many reasons—to solicit play, to signal that they’re going on the offensive, to get our attention. They bark when they’re stressed or bored or lonely.
