LMFAO@zipededoo! Wow! And what if c.a.t. really spelled dog?
Actually....that's an excellent question....with boundries! There are such a thing as wild dogs.....and they bark at one another all the while they are hunting or playing or whatever.....and seem to understand and react to individual barks.........so maybe it's a language of the hood.....but could be translated in generality if they were dropped in another place far from home.......ergo, a dialect (or slang, if you will) of the same tone of bark!
Maybe it's more like Morse Code.....length and tone of the bark! Hey! I said maybe!
I do know this.........with every dog I've ever had...I could differentiate between an angry bark and a happy bark.....a playful bark and a sad bark........and so on! So......I have faith in this contraption that's been developed!
