Livestock / Animal Husbandry
hunting dogs
I found this word in a 1910 manual for training military dogs. It has a drawing of a dog barking at the side of a soldier who appears dead. The caption is simply "Totbellend."
Modern German sources indicate it's a bark that a hunting dog makes when it finds game that already dead -- as opposed to living game.
Is there a word for it in English?
Thanks, in advance, for your help!

This is of course, not the typical yif yif as on hare track, but rather a deep bark. Similar, but at higher frequency as done during totverbellen "dead game baying".
