Because pavlov would feed the dog right after the tone. The dog came to understand that the tone meant food was coming, and would salivate in anticipation.
Pavlov's dog salivated to a tone because the tone had been repeatedly paired with the presentation of food. This led to the dog associating the tone with food, triggering a conditioned response of salivation even when food was not present.
Ivan Pavlov was a Russian psychologist who is famously known for his conditioning experiment involving a dog and a bell. What he did was train the dog to salivate by ringing a bell. To do so, Pavlov would place food in front of the dog, and ring the bell. Thus, the dog would salivate at the sight of the food and subconsciously at the sound of the bell. Through conditioning, Pavlov was able to repeat the process until the dog became accustomed to hearing the sound of the bell, and ultimately when the dog heard the bell ring, it would begin to salivate as it had learned to associate the sound of the bell with food, and food resulted in its salivation
Pavlov paired the ringing of a bell with the presentation of food to the dogs, causing them to associate the bell with the imminent arrival of food. Through repeated pairings, the dogs learned to salivate at the sound of the bell alone, even in the absence of food. This process is known as classical conditioning.
In Pavlov's experiment, the unconditioned stimulus (US) was the food that naturally triggers the dog's salivation reflex. This means that the food automatically causes the dog to salivate without any conditioning.
Stimulus generalization occurs when a response is elicited by a similar stimulus to the one originally paired with a certain response. Stimulus discrimination involves responding differently to similar stimuli based on learned associations or cues.
This is an example of generalization in classical conditioning. The dog has associated the sound of middle C with food (conditioned stimulus) and now also responds similarly to a slightly different sound (generalization).
There is no tone that causes a dog to salivate; you need to train a particular dog to do that as it is a learned behavior. You might want to read about the apparently not-so-famous experiment by Ivan Pavlov.

no worries, it probably is just because the dog sees food that he or she really wants.
