Barking

[Lola's mum]

I know that different barking means different things and wanted to ask if anyone knew what meant what.
My daughter's friend has a baby and everytime she brings her round ours and she cries Lola gives this high pitched yappy bark. I just wondered what it meant as she never barks like this at any other time.

Baxter gets nervous when any of our friends' babies cry when they're visiting us. He really loves kids/babies and is so interested but very gentle/careful around them. If they cry or even make noises, I think he knows something's wrong and tries to tell me about it. Especially because we don't have a baby around all the time- he's not sure what to do. He becomes visibly nervous, and wants to see what's happening, and even nudges me. He doesn't bark, but it maybe that's your dogs way of telling you "something's wrong!"

It really un nerved me though, I'd hate to think she'd hurt the baby but the bark was so shrill it worried me.
