So the other evening Kya was outside, last I had seen, she was laying down sleeping on the snow/ice where she loves to be. I was in the house watching TV and all of a sudden i heard a very loud, angry sounding bark coming from what sounded very close. I have a lot of neighbors with dogs that bark a good amount so i figured it was one of theirs, but I went to check it out since it sounded so close. I go outside and there is Kya barking like I have never heard at the neighbor, whom she normally loves. The neighbor apologized to me for making the dog bark and I told her it wasn't her fault and I am not sure what had gotten in to the dog.
What she told me was very interesting though, she had locked herself out of the house, and was walking around trying to figure out if there were any windows unlocked that she could try to sneak in through, it was cold so she was all bundled up with a hat, scarf and gloves, so you couldn't really see her. All I can thing of is that Kya knew something wasn't normal about this and that somebody that doesn't belong is trying to get it to the house and wanted to alert people. Once I got outside and was talking to the neighbor, she realized it was ok, and calmed down and started wagging her tail and "woo"ing.
Has anybody else had this type of experience? I thought that it was kinda cool that she knew something was odd about what was happening.

Our GSD used to do this, with anyone wearing a hat. Although it didn't matter if she knew who they were or not, she couldn't recognize them, by voice or scent, and just went nuts. She was a highly insecure dog. Snoopy and Nunya don't bark at anybody ever lol

She had never really barked before either, other than a single yelp once and a while to let me know she wanted to come back in the house. Because of that, I didn't even think it was her when it was happening, until I went outside to see what was going on.

Lucian has done this to strangers approaching our yard. He doesn't bark at anyone walking on the side walk, but if they come up the driveway, and he doesn't know them he will bark. It was so weird the first time he did. From what I've read huskies aren't territorial. But it seems Lucian is.

Bode doesn't bark at strangers when he's in the yard. The only time he barks is if he's in the house and he can see out the front door that someone is coming to the door.
