There was an interesting show on dogs and wolves on CBC Radio yesterday. Apparently, humans have the same psychological response to the sound of dogs barking as they do to the sounds of babies crying.
At least with babies, you know they will eventually grow out of it. We are surrounded on all sides by neighbors with small, barky dogs. They bark at me when I go in my back yard. They bark at each other. They bark even more when my neighbor starts yelling at his dog to shut up. That's usually the breaking point for me, I just give up and go back inside.
