Although it’s very annoying to be disturbed by a barking dog if it’s out of character it’s always advisable to check on the house occupants. Dogs are very loyal to their owners and will often bark to alert a problem. If you are concerned about the house occupants you can always ring 101, use the 101 live Webchat or 999 if you believe it may be an emergency.
