bow wow wow
Sven and I were comparing notes on how people describe the way dog barks in the English and Chinese language. Off the top of my head, I only know of one Chinese bark - “wo, wo”. In English there are many - “bark”, “ruff”, “arf”. We couldn’t figure out what’s up with “bow wow”.

In Chinese, do they have a different way to express a “grrrr” growl?

Not that I remember…but next time I go through my old comic books I’ll look.
