7. Dogs bark serially because they were bred that way..

Wolves bark but it's not particularly loud and only done singly, not one right after another like a lot of dogs, it's an alert sound to the rest of the pack that something is going on and they should be aware of it.

Dogs were originally bred at least partially as watch animals, they give the alert when they notice anything unusual. I have two fairly small dogs that bark a lot but they don't bark for no reason at all, there's always something that sets them off, a noise, seeing an animal out the window or something along those lines.
