From not far away came the barking of hounds.

From the distance came the barking of a dog.

From all sides came the barking of coyotes, as though they were signaling one another their whereabouts.

From still further came the barking exhaust of the first-train engine waiting for orders for the cañon run.

On the bank he had left, he could see two black-and-white specks moving about, and across the water came the barking of dogs.

From outside the plain, dark walls of the tent came the barking of the camp dogs, the caw of rooks about the midden.
