Home Alone

It was raining pretty hard one night and I was about to go to bed. Our dog decided to start going nuts barking at the corner of the family room. We had just moved in so there wasn't anything in there but she just kept constantly barking at nothing. I tried to pull her away but she wasn't having any of it. She started showing her teeth and snarling, which she never does.

I figured there must be an animal outside so I turned on the deck lights (deck is off the family room) and peer outside. Nope, nothing. I wasn't about to go outside because of the rain and I didn't see anything anyway. So I drag the dog to the bedroom but she just won't shut up.

Finally decide to get my shoes and umbrella on and walk around the house. Found one of my neighbors curled up along the side of the deck trying to protect himself from the rain. He's disabled and a little slow. He usually goes out for walks in the neighborhood. He got caught in the rain and couldn't find his house. If my dog hadn't gone nuts he might have been out there all night and who knows what could have happened.
