I wonder if this or perhaps “what they mean by that face” thing has been tested in some double blind scenario.

I don’t understand any dog barks
That’s obviously false. Any dog owner knows when their dog is begging for help getting something out of reach or being let in/out of a gate, which barks mean “hey someone’s at the door” or “squirrel” and which yelps mean pain. Beyond that, growls and body language can communicate quite a bit, too.

Exactly! Barking isn’t some sort of language in an of itself, it’s only a minor part of how dogs communicate.

Humans can’t even comprehend everything by speech alone. “I’m fine” and the need to add /s on the internet for examples.
