It's stupidly poetic but it's very likely they'd be able to communicate with us by the time they get here, I mean, unlike dogs or cetaceans we have almost a hundred years of radio communications bouncing off into space. Considering we're also very likely to be the dogs in this metaphor, it should be easier for them to learn how to communicate to us rather than the other way around.

Although depending on how fast they were traveling there might have been a ton of doppler shift on all our radio and they'll be surprised how low our voices are.
