That's actually a great question. I'm not sure at all. It's definitely really hard to look at a dog's ability to communicate in a vacuum outside human domestication.
Couldn't find any papers on whether they whine amongst each other on a quick Google myself.
- rossdavidh 10y agoIn the case of dogs, we should probably look at wolves to see if the whining was a response to domestication. But I don't know if wolves whine, so I'm not much help there.

- jaimex2 10y agoDomestication goes both ways, over time we may have developed a response to them whining. I remember a test done where humans had to listen to dog and cat sounds and identify what the animal was communicating (to humans or other animals) and we were quite good at it.
