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
