For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Of course it is. The dog is barking because it's scared of a weird sound it doesn't understand.

Also no I don't think barking is particularly enjoyable it's just a way of expressing fear or excitement, depending on context

Dare I ask what the original comment was

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sure. it was something like: "is this really abuse? Don't dogs like barking??"

Ah, ew

Yeah to basically back up what you said:

My dogs ofc do this under her breath bark cus she’s having fun But to the point of the unknown noises sometimes when I start my car remotely to get the engine running in winter they’ll start barking cus I’m sure the thought process is “OH MY GOD WHAT WAS THAT!? GOTTA PROTECT THE HOUSE” or any noise they thought they heard outside

Fortuanlty that’s no where near as miserable as a dog whistle

A good analogy I heard it’s like screaming from a small child. They giggle and scream when crawling and running out of joy (from me chasing them in my experience) but also start screaming if they stub their toe running or don’t get their way
