Dogs know several human words, but we don’t understand any dog barks. They may be smarter than us... (kbin.social)

You're actually right! I can tell when my dog is barking to go outside, at someone on the street, if one of her toys got stuck and she wants me to get it for her, barking to play, etc. All from outside the room. Never thought about it before

My dog has different barks for foxes, mooses, and bears.

And actually he's got multiple fox barks - one when he's barking for them to come into the yard below the balcony, and then the one to tell them to get out of his yard!
