Yeah but like, that is just words in a different language like the way the aliens communicate in that movie Arrival.

Or those aliens that say danat at tanagra in startrek.

It's more symbolic than word based. It's not like dog sounds have letter and syllable analog with etymology and all that.

We communicate this way when we use the turn signals on our cars. It's visual instead of auditory. Imagine having a vocabulary such as it is of like ten different honks on the steering wheel and different body postures or shall we say light configurations and you will begin to understand dog more. Add in smells or chemical signals and plants, insects, cats become more understandable and relatable. Etc..
