Why do dogs purr?

Dogs don't purr! That's a sound specifically made by cats.

While dogs don't purr, they do make a variety of noises, including:

* Barks: Used for communication, alerting, and defense.

* Growls: Indicate warning, aggression, or excitement.

* Whines: Expressing pain, fear, or anxiety.

* Howls: Used for communication over long distances, particularly in packs.

* Yips: Short, sharp sounds used for play or excitement.

If you're hearing a purring-like sound from your dog, it might be a sign of contentment, but it's likely another noise you're misinterpreting. 🐶
