The idiom "bark at the moon" is originated from the behavior of dogs who bark at the moon, which is a futile and pointless activity since the moon is an inanimate object that cannot be affected by barking. The idiom is often used in a figurative sense, to describe someone who is pursuing a goal or engaging in an activity that is unlikely to succeed or to express a sense of frustration or disbelief at someone's behavior.
