What about ruff ruff and similar. Meong and bwekaa seem quite unlikely to me. I need someone to sound that out for me

yeah "meong" sounds more like a housecat, if anything. And whoever thinks any animal says "bwekaa" needs an ear exam.

I did a bit of searching, and Korean really does use meong meong (멍멍) for barking. It's just that Korean romanization isn't that intuitive for an English speaker. The eo (ㅓ) vowel sounds like an uhh, and not like the eo in "meow".
