Late at Night, Silent Courtyard, Family Dog Barks Constantly – Why?
Introduction: Late at night, there is no one outside the courtyard, but the family dog barks incessantly. Why? You'll know the reason after reading.
Continuous social and economic reforms, and the continuous improvement of productivity, have brought about many differences in the lifestyle of farmers! In the 1980s and 1990s, every household had the habit of raising livestock. On the one hand, it was to make ends meet, and on the other hand, it was to improve the family's conditions. Every year during the Lunar New Year, pig slaughtering was an everlasting memory! Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of productivity, farmers are going to cities for work, and many people no longer raise livestock to improve the rural environment!
However, nowadays, the amount of livestock in rural areas has decreased, but people's love for their dogs has not diminished! In rural areas, it is said that 'a dog guards the house, and it gets one bite of food.' People have already regarded it as a member of the family, which is related to the dog's loyal character. Of course, with young people going out to work and elderly parents and children remaining behind, having a dog's companionship provides some comfort to those left behind!
Those who live in rural areas probably have this experience: late at night, the village is quiet and a little scary, but you can often hear the family dog barking incessantly! Some people think that there might be 'guests' visiting, whether they are real guests or 'noble gentlemen on a beam,' everyone will go out to check. But they found that there is no one outside the courtyard, and there is no sound. Why does the dog still bark?
Old farmers believe that if a dog barks at night, it must have discovered 'an anomaly.' Old farmers believe that dogs can 'sense' with their noses, which is more sensitive than humans'!
From the perspective of experts, as a dog, it has extremely sensitive sense of smell. For example, canid species are used for tracking in the wild and can discover many subtle smells! Experts say that compared to humans, the sense of smell of canids is 16 times better. At night, when people are all asleep, nocturnal animals also start to move, such as rats, weasels, and cats. Although their movements are very light, they will not escape the dog's sense of smell! To drive away these 'uninvited guests,' they naturally bark to show their territory!
Late at night, there is no one outside the courtyard, but the family dog barks incessantly. What's the reason? The answer is here! How do you think about it?
