Letter: Dogs with big bark don't always have big bite

In regards to the recent letter to the editor with the headline, "All barks are aggressive," this woman may be a dog lover, but she knows nothing about dogs.

Dogs communicate by barking. Each bark is different. The bark of a playing dog and a dog that is upset is very different. The meaning is in the tone. They are the same as humans. It is easy to tell the difference.

The pit bull is considered one of the most aggressive of all dogs in America, yet they are known for not barking.

To quote Will Rogers, "Everyone is ignorant, just on different subjects." This woman's is dogs.
