Aren't the Dogs the first line bark alarms at night around dusk to run deer back into the Forrest?

I often have my daughters dog for long periods of time at my home. He is a mini aussie who thinks he's a golden retriever and maybe in a past life he was. This boy had Fido-radar i have never seen before. If there are white tail deer out side within 50 yards he will rise from a sound sleep on the living room floor and scoot to a window and grumble.( yes grumbling is permitted inside barking is not) He will bark up a storm when we see them outdoors. Ya can't fool em. Like K9 radar.
To this day I don't know how he does this trick? And I really don't mind it. The grumbling hilarious.
"Monty" sure as heck has. We have a true spectrum of Minn wildlife within a mile radius of the homestead. Witness the ebb and flow of harsh winter and wimpy ones. We assess the level of alarm bark differently for Monty. No BARKING is ever allowed in the house.
Now that doesn't mean he won't crash thru gates of hell to get out on the deck to do it.
And um he is pretty darn good about the rule. Now to work the list of others. ( not yet 3yrs)
But we are inside an enclosed house when he does this. Any season. Rather Puzzling.
totally agree about outdoors. He has been making left turns off the bike trail straight up a well worn deer trail for a few years when he is on leash. All i say is yup, that's their deer trail.
A few more sniffs, a glance up at me and we continue back walking on an asphalt trail.
Some dogs can smell 1 part per billion, if their ears still work, they can tell the difference between your automobile engine, and all the others, from a half a mile, some dogs can smell cancer, absolutely amazing.
Enclosed house just means limited air movement with the outside, not stopped.
May also explain why sometimes, your dog will growl at a closed closet door. And we hope its not a ghost!
Sounds like our Monty Boi! He's a Peach. Hard to say if he is Bloodhound caliber Fido.
He is still young enough to be ultra curious. Like he has to log everything he sees and smells. About the time 9 or 10 rolls around all that goes back to "idle in neutral mode". Hah

Animals have a "6th sense" don't they?
They just let their senses work for them as they are not preoccupied with the nonsense we are.
So true!!!

Could it be his awesome sense of smell?
his nose knows.....
