Subject: Animal noises

I was attempting to translate one of my 2-year-old's children's books into
Franj, and ran into a bit of a
problem:

Animal noises.

Now, most of these will be onomatopoeic, but ISTR that in particular, dogs
and pigs make the most bizarre variations of sound (eg dogs in English say
"woof woof", "bow wow", "bark" or "arf", whereas in Korean they go "mung
mung").

So, how should dogs, pigs and other animals go?

Anyone want to shate their animal noises in nat- or conlangs?

Geoff
