Val’s mini dachshund does that. Barks like crazy when he sees or thinks he sees something outside. Which is fairly often. They are very stubborn dogs.

 

Cats don't bark. Once in a while a cat will wake me up meowing but it's rare. I love some dogs but I'm done owning one. I'm happily owned by cats.

 

I can’t go into my garage without the dogs across the street from me barking. It is very annoying!

 

Mastiffs must paint a mental picture of their surroundings because if something is different they go nuts.
Example, a few days ago we brought up the adirondack chairs and put them out on the lawn.
Upon going out for his evening business he kept circling the chairs and barking at the inert, sitting still, chairs.

 

Haha, I would be barking at them also. I always found them to be the most uncomfortable chairs ever designed. This is the only picture I have of my grandfather.

 

Getting up isn't easy, either.
