My dogs have always done something like this. When we all get up in the morning and head toward the back door to go outside, the dogs will start sneezing, or as described in the article, "audible rapid nasal exhalations." They will also do this sometimes during the day if they haven't been out in a while and I get up from my desk to take them out. I always wondered why they did this, and it sounds like maybe it's a primitive instinct that has not been extinguished in domestic dogs.
Anybody else have dogs that sneeze to let you know they want to go somewhere with you?

Look at that beautiful dog's EARS!
I've had dogs who chuffed or huffed (through the nose) when they were excited and frustrated. But not to vote on bye-bye, so far. I don't think.

My Akita girl, "Shock & Awe" Shaka, always did that in excited anticipation of getting to go out for a WALK
Akitas are among the handful of Primitive breeds most closely related to Wolves according to genetic studies, so that makes sense...

I know, the ears! Wow!
Yeah, I always chalked the sounds up to excitement with mine, but then again I wondered why they would sneeze out of excitement? So I don't know if it's a "vote" or what, but it is interesting to think about. One more mystery for us to try to figure out with our dogs.

My Norwich terrier (yrs ago) used to sneeze so hard his nose would bang on the ground.
It never seemed bother him but it sure hurt watching him.
That happened to our Standard Dachshunds way back in the day too, and they also seemed to take it in their stride, though it hurt ME as well to see that go on -- Tough little dogs, Norwiches and Dachshunds !!!

We had Boxers when I was a kid, and the big oaf of a male, Rocky, thought he'd scored big time when my dad dropped a piece of sausage that he'd covered in Englush mustard, the dog wheezed and sneezed for about half an hour.

I agree with the anticipation/ excitement thing. All my dogs did it, and the cat would do it when she was pissy.
I do it when the sun hits my eyes. Someone once told me after 7 sneezes your brain explodes..I cut that myth down lol!
