Interesting read.

Interesting, also, that they say dogs tend to look to the left when presented with something unexpected.

Seems like the sample may be too small to be conclusive, but it is still interesting. I know some of the comments say it is obvious that a larger dog has a deeper growl, but I'm not sure that is always true...I listen to the variance in pitch in growling just in my three, and it depends on if the growl is a play growl or warning growl....
