This may sound like a stupid question, but since I've never had a dog, I can't answer it! A friend has a yorkie and they left her home alone for the first time on Saturday. They've gone on short trips, but they were gone the entire day. When they came home, the dog went crazy welcoming them. She was yipping and barking and just dashing from person to person.
Well, Sunday morning, they woke up and the dog has no voice. She has the hoarsest little bark. Can a dog loose its voice from abuse like a human can? I know I've gone to concerts and the next day couldn't talk from all the shouting I did. Or is this something more serious?
