Rottie to the Rescue...

One night a family's pet Rottweiler started barking to be let out in the middle of the night. A rather grumpy owner got out of bed and let him out, shutting the door firmly behind him.

Snuggling back into bed with his partner, the dog soon started barking outside as well. The man got up, opened the window and told the dog to be quiet.

The dog obediently went quiet, but soon started barking again. Again, the man got out of bed, opened the window and told the dog to shut up.

Drifting off to sleep comfortably snuggled under the quilt, the family were awoken once more by the urgent ringing of the doorbell. Someone wouldn't would not lay off that wretched bell.

The man grouchily goes down stairs tying his dressing gown around himself as he went. It's 3am in the bloody morning. His sleep has been disturbed four times. He opens the door...and finds the Rottweiler standing on his hind legs, leaning on the door bell with his front paws.

At this point the man realises their dog has been trying to tell them something all along: the roof of the house is ablaze. He wakes his family and gets them out safely just before the roof comes crashing down.

Now tell me dogs can't think, can't reason, can't problem solve...and don't have a soul.
