Individual dogs bark for a variety of reasons. They may bark to attract attention, to communicate a message, or to express excitement. Dog barks do not constitute an information-rich message in the same fashion as human speech, but they do nonetheless constitute more than mere noise. Statistical analysis has revealed that barks can be divided into different subtypes based on context and that individual dogs can be identified by their barks. Disturbance barks tend to be harsh, low frequency, and unmodulated, whereas isolation and play barks tend to be tonal, higher frequency, and modulated. Barks are often accompanied by body movements as part of a broader package of dog communication.

It is their way of communicating.. they let you know when someone is here, When there is danger, bad weather comes. I have 8 Shih Tzu's I can tell each one bark from the other. I can tell by the sound of their bark weather someone is here or they are just barking to hear their head rattle. If you listen and know their ways of barking you can most likely know what is going on.

Haven't you noticed that there are different types of barks dogs have?
I would imagine it is their language, their way of communication. Some breeds are worst than others, although the upbringing of the puppy is also a factor in the dogs behavior as an adult.

It is a way of communicating, and it also acts as a warning signal, and sometimes they bark while playing, just so they can tell you they are happy.... hope this answers your question...

IT IS THEIR WAY OF GETTING YOUR ATTENTION AND IF THEY WANT SOMETHING. IT IS JUST LIKE A PERSON WANTING TO GET ANOTHER PERSON'S ATTENTION.
