How can you tell the difference between a dog and tree?
By their bark!

Did You Know?
"Bark" means both the sound a dog makes and the outer covering of a tree! Tree bark protects against insects, disease, and weather while allowing the tree to breathe through small pores called lenticels. Different tree species have distinctive bark patterns - smooth, ridged, peeling, or scaly. Dogs bark to communicate, with different barks signaling play, warning, or distress. Scientists can identify tree species just by examining bark texture and color. The thickest bark belongs to the giant sequoia, reaching up to 2 feet thick!
