Dog Talk: Cracking the barking code

My friend Brandy is as cute as a button. She’s a Poodle, and so she’s not just pretty but also smart. Most of our connection is one way, with me seeing her on social media, but we’ve met several times in person too. The thing is, every time I see her, she barks at me.

The first time, I understood because I knew her but she did not know me. But after that, I wondered what was going on. We like each other, and she enjoys being petted, so the woof-woof-woof was unexpected.
