It's Dog or Nothing - Living Large. Living Fluffy
101 + Reasons My Great Pyrenees is Barking
As pyrents, we all know that pyrs bark. During the day time, I can normally tell what is causing them to bark. At night, I can only assume they’re barking at ghosts or zombies outside the house. I’d rather not know.
Sometimes, what they’re barking at *could* be considered a true threat. Other times, well… not so much.(psst… need help with the barking? check out this post)
