Dog Gone Languages

Dog Gone Languages All dogs bark except the Dingo Humans think they know the lingo But truth be told – reality It’s a different sound in each country In Arabic – hau-hau, how-how Armenian – haf-haf In Cantonese – wow-wow, wong-wong Bulgarian – jaff-jaff In English it’s arf-arf, bow-wow In Malay it’s gong-gong The Germans hear wuff-wuff, vow-vow The Thais just hear hong-hong I’d give you more but that’s enough You need to know this other stuff Dog barking has one common vice A dog will always speak it twice No matter how we hear the bark Between two dogs it hits the mark They seem to understand all others Better than we do our brothers Mdailey 11/28/12
