Yaps

ARFS

Think of the sound a small, excited dog might make repeatedly.

"Yaps" is a playful way to describe the sound dogs make, often written as "arf" in comics or casual speech. The answer "ARFS" simply pluralizes that sound, turning it into a crossword-friendly word. It’s a straightforward example of onomatopoeia—where a word mimics the noise it represents—common in puzzles for its clever simplicity.
