Dogs are more amazing than you know.

A question came to me the other day. It is whether dogs, like humans and cetaceans, have regional accents or dialects? It turns out they do and they learn it from us (sort of).

I 100% believe that too! Many really can almost talk to us..in their way. ..and yes they have a particular "accent"..

They really do view us as part of their pack. It's mostly us who separate ourselves from them instead of them seeing themselves as separate from us.

I bet women and dogs had formed that very kind of relationship from the start of them being domesticated, probably part of the whole process

Wow this is super interesting, thanks for sharing!

Dogs would be a great way to keep warm on those cold nights. More intimate encounters certainly happened from sharing the same bed-skins.

They also understand different languages.

More proof that humans aren't any more "advanced" than the rest of the animal kingdom.

Our command of language has always been cited as perhaps our greatest evolutionary advancement over the rest of the animal kingdom, but a recent study now proves that a dog's brain is capable of differentiating different languages...

It's a thing I have been thinking for long, but I am glad you brought this here. I realised dogs of different countries bark like different, even in my own country... I thought it was just me, but I can see maybe I am not as crazy as I thought I was

Huh, I thought this was common knowledge.

Good try, but "Woof" is international language.

I noticed this when I took a trip to Europe a while ago. I was out walking late at night and noticed a dog barking in someone's backyard. Of course, me being a legally questionable tourist, I peered through the back fence and looked at the dog. Surprisingly enough, it was a husky malamute, which is the same breed of dog I have. However, her bark was very different from my dog's. Now, this could have been the result of any number of reasons, but at the time (and since then) I've just recognized it as "barking in a different accent".
