Good Heavens. How do you debark a dog? Do people really do that? Is it some kind of surgery?

It is not uncommon to "debark" trained attack dogs. This is done through surgical removal of their vocal chords, by someone who has a very unpleasant, nasty streak, and would rather have the dogs CATCH an intruder--who would never hear them coming--than drive him off.

That gives me chills. Of course, I'm a Golden Retriever type of person.
