Bark
An animal barks with its voice: its head jerks up and forward on the loud words, its ears up, its mouth open as far as the line is loud.

What it is for
A dog saying anything at all. It is what Talk, Shout, Whisper, Explain, Proclaim and List on fingers play on four legs.
The principle it shows: the voice moves the head
A move that goes with the voice is as big as the line is loud: a shout throws the head up and forward, a whisper barely moves it, and the mouth opens with each sound. The same move makes a quiet woof and a loud bark.

How it differs from the others
Growl is the angry stance without the voice; Talk is the person's version, the hands beating.
