No, I wasn't talking about the species, but about the "level" of sound
heard. A blind person can't tell if that's a Rottweiler, German Shepherd,
Pit Bull or anything else, just that it has a deep WOOF, while the other
dog has a sharp, shrill yap, yap, yap.

So you'd need to somehow account for level / depth of sound.

So my question is still of a mapping ethics nature: would we be doing

No, personally, I don't think we should map that a private home has any
type of security, be it electronic or animal. Mapping to say there's a dog
here would be OK though.
