If dogs have them then so will others!

The Adam's apple is merely thyroid cartilage (not the thyroid gland) that increases in size with puberty. It is most noticeable in men hence the name. Many mammals have a similar structure on the larynx but it is most prominent in species where the male has a louder voice.
ALL mammals have a voice box (as wildwood says Thyroid cartilage)
The main function of the voice box is that of a protective mechanism for the lungs against food and water entering.
The production of sounds from the larynx (voice box) is purely secondary.
