> for every dog there exists at least one barking event with that dog as the acting subject

Just to wrap my head around your definition of universal and unambiguous here. If the language cant nail down the definition of dog to something all parties agree on, would the claim still be unambigous?

Yes, as explained in my other comment down thread. All parties would agree on the logical claim being made “for-each dog, exists event { dog did bark }”. There could be multiple interpretations of this claim using alternative or stretched definitions of the words “dog” or “bark,” but the logical structure would be unambiguous.
