Neighborhood Dog

The local hound has decided to spend another day serenading the neighborhood with the dulcet tones of his lovely bark. Thankfully the annoying silence is able to be broken by this high pitched and somewhat disturbing sound that seems to be seamless in its repetitive sate. Each bright crisp bark sounding so similar to the next, you think that this pooch must have some magical gift, a silver set of vocal chords that never go out of tune or get tired. How lucky you are to have such a kind neighbor, one who is generous enough to share his dog with you. Although dogs are descended from the wolf their barking constitutes a significant difference from their parent species. Although wolves do bark, they do so only in specific situations. It has been suggested that the reason for the difference lies in the dog's domestication by humans. An increased tendency to bark could have been useful to humans to provide an early warning system.
