Arte Karambolage has done this for multiple animals, with French and Germans: Die Lautmalerei/L'onomatopée, der Hund/Le Chien (non-Europeans might be geo-blocked, sorry). Interestingly, the Germans in the video all go for "Wau wau" instead of "wuff wuff".
(There are more episodes of Lautmalerei/Onomatopoée. A funny one is the elephant. Germans all use "töröö", because of the influence of a popular children's audiobook about a speaking elephant.)
