Latrate

Latrate, to barke like a dog.

I once saw a big dog plunging out furiously at a passing car, and, as I watched him, his gait looked peculiar. The reason for this eccentricity became clear when he returned from his latrating orgy: he had only three legs.

[…] Rip ought to know there wasn’t a beggar’s chance of catching one of the birds; all the silly, latrating dogs thus showed off.

With everything boiling over; with everyone rapping, yakking or latrating, it would restore dignity to a number of America’s newspapers if the objectivity of their reporting would harden in direct proportion to the subjectivity of the story being reported.
