    Of course you understand some dog barks, you just don’t think about it because humans process language innately, we have specialized brain structures for it.

    I’ll bet you can recognize “I see a threat” and 'I’m in pain" when you hear them. Maybe even distinguish them from “happy excitement”

      Yeah there’s excited, danger, let me outside, etc. The sneeze sound is “I’m playing with you don’t fight for real” when play fighting with other dogs.
