Somebody opens a gate two streets over and three dogs you can't see start barking — that domino is one of the most domestic sounds there is, and one of the hardest to record without overlap. 166 dog clips here, from a single low warning growl through to a whole kennel barking at the postman. By breed: pit bull intimidation, beagle howls, terrier yaps, big-dog Doberman echoes from a yard. There's also a puppy section — squeaks, tiny barks, the wet snuffle of a six-week-old looking for milk.
Documentary work pulls from the single-source takes because they give you one dog's voice without overlap, leaving the colouring to the mix. Comedy and cartoon scenes use the puppy material — the higher register cuts through busy frames. For a chase scene, the aggressive guard-dog clips are off-screen menace; pair them with footsteps and the audience supplies the threat themselves.
