Well i just saw one dog talking and that dog was talking in english not korean
한국어로 means "in Korean". Actually the answer to this question can be written in many different forms. The word choice for this is not a 100% correct for the sentence the way they wrote.
It should be accepted. The question is emphasis, which is hard to deduce from a short English sentence without context. 개는 한국어로도 말합니다 means that the dog (as opposed the cat) speaks Korean (in addition to some other language). 개도 한국어로 말합니다 means that the dog (in addition to the cat) speaks Korean.
I think it could be. Hopefully, a native speaker will help us out. I found these at https://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit-5/lessons-101-108/lesson-107/-- 제주도가 신선한 공기로도 유명해요 = Jeju is also famous for its fresh air
그 영화가 일본어로도 번역되었다 = That movie was also translated to Japanese
요즘에는 사람들이 컴퓨터로도 통화할 수 있어요 = These days, people can also talk over (using) computers
우리가 피자를 점심으로도 먹었어요 = We also ate pizza for lunch
비상상태에서는 의자를 구명조끼로도 쓸 수 있다 = In an emergency situation, you can also use your seat as a life jacket

I'm wondering if this is how you'd say "in addition to another language, the dog speaks Korean." Whereas in the exercise it means basically "(I sprak Korean and) The dog also speaks Korean. Maybe??
If we write 개는..... then this sentence will be consider as a fact. I mean the probable translation will be
" Dogs speak korean" this is not fact so thats why if we are talking about particular dog, it will be . 이 개가 .
The 'too' in this sentence found after the word '개'. '도' is the word 'too'. I hope it helped!

Is -도 always used in place of the subject/topic/object marker, or can it be used attached to those too? (For example, "개가도 한국어로 말해요") ?
Why is 도 after the word dog? Doesn't that make the sentence: The dog, too (as well as someone or something else), speaks Korean" which implies the dog is the 2nd party here? Shouldn't it be 개가 한극어도 말합니다
I took it to mean that the dog speaks Korean (in addition to his own language) rather than that the dog (in addition to us?) speaks Korean
