King is in the backyard, barking. The reason he's barking is because he thinks another dog is out there, barking. The reason he thinks *that* is because the Blackhawks hockey broadcast ran a snippet of the Jane's Addiction song that starts with the sound of a dog, barking.

I tried to explain that it was just the intermission, but King was having none of it. Somewhere out there is a dog that's barking, and he has to let it know that he knows it's out there. Barking.
