I've seen what my dog did.
I had a locksmith come to replace the ignition switch on a car, because the key couldn't turn it any more. It took longer than I expected, and finally I decided to use the restroom. Of course, that's when they locksmith finished his work, and came in to tell me he was done.
So my dog sees this guy walk into my house without me there to meet him. The dog, essentially, drew a line in the carpet and said "Don't take a step across that line." It was impressive. I didn't know before that how my dog would react, but she seems pretty... sensitive... to people coming into my house when we aren't at the door.
