Tuesday, February 22, 2005. Anders is a fairly common scandinavian name which means man or manly. In German, it is an adverb meaning otherwise or differently. Its usually a first name, but I have met people with Anders as a last name. I pronounce Anders as On-ders but as a last name, it is usually Ann-ders.
What is a barking cough? A barking cough is a dry, harsh cough that resembles the sound of a barking seal. This type of cough is most often associated with croup (laryngotracheitis). Croup is usually caused by viruses. Bacterial infection may occur secondarily.
There is no threat of aggression signaled by the dog unless it is lower pitched and mixed with growls. Let's consider the interpretation of the most common barks. Rapid strings of 2 to 4 barks with pauses between is the most common form of barking and is the classic alarm bark meaning something like Call the pack.
