Can dogs 'talk'?

We don't have a dog now, our dear border collie died in Jan. She used to have a range of barks etc all which meant something.
Now we have a neighbour who looks after his son's english bulldog during the day. I was talking to them today and said can Hugo ( the dog) have bones? We're going to have lamb shoulder at the weekend, perhaps Hugo would like the bone?
Hugo perked up at once and barked 'ruuf ruuf!' Do you think he understood? He certainly seemed interested.

Oh sad Jalima but don't they live on in our memories of them.

We had a cat who was always waiting when we arrived home in the car. She was only caught out once when we left in the old car and came home in a different (new to us) car. She had obviously memorized the sound I suppose and was always there and met the new car too after that first miss. smile

We do, and there will never be another like him!

My pup is very vocal. When she needs to go out she goes,”Rrrrrrr! Rrrrrrrr!” and once outside she shouts, “BARK BARK BARK BARK!”
I’m deeply regretting the Jack Russell in her, as I’m sure the neighbours are too.
