Baby imitates dog's barking in viral TikTok video

A viral TikTok video by Analeigh Ahn shows her baby making a barking sound similar to their family dog. The video has gained 12.5 million views, highlighting how babies often imitate pets as part of their language development. Experts note that babies absorb sounds from their environment, including animal noises. This imitation can help with early language skills, as simple sounds are easier for babies to mimic. Parents are sharing similar experiences, with some noting their children have imitated other animals. Despite these early sounds, babies will still learn to speak human language as they grow.
