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.<br>

do you know that Gus is stressed? If he knows the dog and
knows the people, perhaps he waits for them to go by every
day and gets a kick out of barking at them. It’s something
to do and a way to work off some excess energy. Barking at
them could be something he looks forward to, it breaks up
his day. Maybe? And maybe the people come by the window to
say hello to poor Gus, who (in their minds) is stuck in the
house? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
