Why do dogs woof?

Answer 1

(a) Dogs have enjoyed a very long association with mankind, in fact the human-hound relationship is even older than the human-horse one. It has also been established that domestic dogs are the descendant of the wolf. As dogs slowly evolved away from the wolf, it became increasingly difficult for proud dog owners to believe that their beloved pets were actually related to the wolf, who had taken on a (unwarranted) sinister reputation in general folk-lore. One thing that the dog did learn to do, in its attempt to talk to its human masters, was bark! Dogs never lost the original knowledge that they are descended from the wolf, so the very first thing they had to say when they learned to bark was "woof" - as they lack the linguistic ability to pronounce the "l" in "wolf"(it doesn't roll off their tongues). Dogs are actually quite proud of their lupine ancestry, and they have never ceased to remind us of it ever since the first bark.
