Why cant my dog speak?

I understand that a dog is not capable of producing the sounds required to converse in a human language. However, would it be possible to develop a language made up of sounds that both a human and a dog could produce so that they may "converse" on some level?

Dogs do not use the sense of sound like humans do, they use smell. When a dog sniffs another they can find out alot of imformation about the dog, and does not need to communicate via sound as humans do.

Alexander Graham Bell taught his dog to say ' I love you grandmumma' so it must be possible to make it sound human enough to understand.
