DOGVILLE — It's human nature to sometimes want to make animal sounds when we see certain animals. For example, who among us hasn't mooed at cows in a field? Or quacked at the ducks at the local pond?

But these mimicked animal sounds are usually rudimentary, at best. While they sound similar enough to be recognized by other humans for what they are, the cows and ducks don't necessarily think you're fluent in their language.

I might take pride in being able to make a great meow sound, but any cat would probably glare at me and walk the other way — which brings me to this little video.

To my human ears, it sounds like a convincing bark. Much more realistic than my meow. But the proof is in the pudding. The man's bark attracted not one, not two, but three dogs to their windows (a perfect score, considering there are only three visible). We can only assume more dogs out of frame were also summoned.

I'm not sure how this talented man can best put his skills to use. Perhaps he could get a job at an obedience school? In the meantime, however, he's got a pretty solid party trick.
