https://translate.google.com/?sl=ko&tl=en&text=%EB%A9%8D%EB%A9%8D&op=translate (listen to the pronunciation)

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".
