Some dogs are relentless when it comes to demanding constant attention. And just like children, some dogs have unbelievable ways of gaining the attention they desire e.g chewing valuable items around the house, taking off for solo excursions around the neighborhood, and of course the ever so annoying bark-a-thon.
