Dogs don't go woof, pigs don't go oink and owls sure as hell don't go hoot.

The problem is that it the sound is characteristic enough to be recognizable but not sufficiently characterizable to fit into our vocabulary.
tl;dr, dogs sounds don't translate to human words very well.
Also, the French say dogs go "woop", so English got it at least closer.
