Ok, this is actually a riddle but it's still a puzzle.

What can bark but cannot bite?

There is one thing in particular that I am thinking of, but if you think of something else instead that would still be right, well done anyway.

Anybody want a clue?Melon247 (Dog&#39;s Life&#39;s No. 1 fan)

 * He, I knew someone would say that. I meant the sound kind of bark. I'll give you a clue if you want.Melon247 (Dog&#39;s Life&#39;s No. 1 fan)

I've heard the sound of a frog described as barking. And I don't think frogs have teeth so they cannot bite. So, is it a frog? New User 17:30, 1 August 2008 (CDT)
 * Well, I guess they do sort of bark, but i was thinking of something a little bigger, and even if a frog doesn't have any teeth it could still bite you if you annoyed it enough. The thing I meant doesn't actually have a mouth on the outside.Melon247 (Dog&#39;s Life&#39;s No. 1 fan)

I'm stumped. The only animals without mouths are... bugs! But then you have to argue whether or not a proboscis is capable of "biting." Is it a cicada? -- 12:54, 2 August 2008 (CDT)
