Because they seems to be related. In Latin "gaudeo"= to be happy, about
persons , in Rom. there is "gudura" showing that is happy about dogs.
The rom. word could not derive from Latin otherways it should have seen
as inherited.

huh? do you wanted me to give you the translation into Romanian for the
figurative sense of "gudura"?

gudura vb I , refl.

1) (Despre caini; la pers. 3) A-si manifesta bucuria sau atasamentul
fata de om, dandu-i tarcoale si miscand din coada
2) Fig. (Despr. oameni) A se ploconi , a se umili fara demnitate in fata
cuiva, a lingusi pe cineva ( pentru a-i obtine favorurile).-Cf. Alb.
"gudutis".
