whatsherface answered Friday June 29 2007, 1:48 pm: dogs like to protect their owners.
so if they see someone coming to their house whom they've never seen go into their house before, they will bark.
Roxeh101 answered Thursday June 28 2007, 11:24 am: They have no life basically. My dog does the same thing. But she's usally sleeping on the furniture near the window and if she sees something "suspicious" she barks. But it's mainly because she doesn't know who those people are and think by barking, they'll go away or alert the family. [ Roxeh101's advice column | Ask Roxeh101 A Question ]
easterngirl answered Wednesday June 27 2007, 12:08 pm: Well sometimes dogs are overprotective and want their owner to know when a stranger is approaching their territory.
Or maybe that dog is lonely and wants a play mate.
You never really know with dogs. Unless you approach them and give them a pat and see their reaction. [ easterngirl's advice column | Ask easterngirl A Question ]

Maybe he's barking at you because he knows he sees you often? Maybe he is just the barking type. It's hard to say, because they all have different manners.
KaytiBugg answered Wednesday June 27 2007, 9:48 am: Don't Freak out. Most dogs are very protective of their surroundings. Or maybe this dog just doesn't like your smell. If you have your own dog, maybe its jealous. But its usual for most dogs to bark or growl at people they might not know. Or maybe its lonely. I hope I could help, but just don't freak out about it. If it really bothers you then tell someone about it and maybe they'll do something. ;) [ KaytiBugg's advice column | Ask KaytiBugg A Question ]
ASAPcamille answered Wednesday June 27 2007, 9:16 am: When a dog senses another person outside,they will usually bark. A lot of dogs sit in the window too, and just watch outside, i guess maybe keeping guard? It is normal, and I know plenty of dogs that do that.
