I have a stake in this question with a friend, that the bark is pretty different around the world.
Also could be the cat, what can you tell about it

Although the sound is pretty much the same -given that all dogs/cats are individuals and thus there is some variation- just like in humans. What differs, is the way we describe the sound in each language.
Japanese: dog = wan wan
cat = nyaa nyaa

According the expert in dog language, Roger Abrantes, the language of dogs is similar to that of people. Since dogs learn by mimicking language as we do, they are susceptible to variances (like dialects). Apparently the "words" are the same as long as they are coupled with understandable physical responses, but groups of dogs that live in one part of a country, state or even region will "agree" on a language, but it is not consistant world-wide. It also changes from breed to breed.
In short, yes, dogs do differ in how they say "wow."

I've lived in the United States, Canada and now Belgium, and have travelled fairly extensively through western Europe AND (to my tinny ear) all dogs sound pretty much the same regardless of country or native language. (Cats too but they're squeakier).
