In general, mammals tend to have a "whine" in response to fear, aprehension, panic, or emotional distress. The most common animal a person would find that recognisably whines is a dog. A dog will whine in response to stress (often seen when taking them to a vet for instance) or aprehension (taking them to a park or getting the leash for a walk). It can also be observed that dogs will whine in response to their owner's distress and can even be used as a warning sign for impending seizures of the owner. Dogs have also been found to whine when their owners feel depressed indicating at sympathetic gesture. Other animals that have a whine to them are horses, cattle, and oddly bears. Some animals though it may be hard to deliniate a whine (which is largely subjective to start with) from other noises. For instance a cat's meow could be considered a whine as could a growl.
