Why do dogs sound different in each language?

"Woof woof" that's how dogs sound in English, interestingly the dogs sound different in different languages. Actually they sound the same since they don't have language, it's just people from different languages perceive differently towards their sound. In my native language, dogs sound "gug-gug" (goog-goog), and I think it doesn't represent real dogs sound. So, how do dogs sound in your language? and what language do you think represent the best?

@kucing123 Here in Israel they just sound like how dogs talk. They talk the same as other dogs but in Hebrew they are called something different than a dog.

Interesting subject , but I have never thought about it. Perhaps dogs learn to mimic the sound of their owners accent.
