There’s A Heated Debate Starting About What A Dog Bark Means

I was reading an article that was posted on the Boston Channel about a study that was done by Kathryn Lord at the University of Mass. that stated: dogs do not bark differently in different circumstances.

Well after reading some of the comments everybody feels that this women is nuts to come up with a report like this. We all know that are dogs talk to us different at different times. My dog will give a low bark to say here wants to go into a room or a load bark that is strong when someone comes up to our door. My two dogs have different barks for all kind of different things.

Kathryn Lord said: What we're saying is that the domestic dog does not have an intentional message in mind, such as, I want to play or the house is on fire. I think the main complaints I've seen, people were upset because they thought their dogs barked in other situations.

I feel that it’s one persons option that seems to have wasted a lot of time and money. But we all know that because someone has a degree in some field they are suppose to be right, right. No wrong, I don’t care how much this women spent I feel the same way that all the people that are writing on the comments saying she is wrong.
