dogs are narcissistic and crave attention. And the only way they can get it is by barking..........

Why do dogs bark? It has to be global warming.

Dogs in domesticity are alone or with one or two fellows when not with their owners.
They bark to summon the rest of the pack: i.e. humans.

It’s in the article. They say that domesticating silver foxes, breeding the tamest, resulted in foxes with spots,curly tails, and the ability to bark.

Dogs were trained to be man's best friend.
Talking back and complaining with specifics of long ago transgressions wouldn't help in staying a best friend.
QED.

Our dog is losing her hearing....so now, she barks more....it seems to be her way of talking to us and being reassured we know what she wants. She usually barks when she wants something.

"biologist Raymond Coppinger once observed a dog that barked for seven hours straight, even though no other canines were within miles."
The biologist should'a checked for squirrels or deer just beyond the fence or run.

Why Do Dogs Bark? It's Still Mostly a Mystery. My dog barks when she it is time for dinner, time for a walk or there is someone at the front door. In short - because she has something to say...

Because it is too hard for them to quote Shakespeare.

What about foxes? What do they say?"Hi, Yortuk. Hi, Georg. Sorry we're late."

Dogs bark because they are undisciplined. In the wild, dogs seldom bark.
