[Dailydrool] Gus and the neighbors with their dog

[Esther Strom]

Agreed. Basil is not a big barker, but I have an elderly neighbor a few 
houses down who talks to Basil over the fence when he's out. I can 
always tell that Jim is out, because Basil has a special bark that he 
only uses to "talk" back to Jim. It's not aggressive or stressed in any 
way, and Jim is the only one Basil talks to like this.
