If you are worried about the dog, they you need to find out where it is coming from. If there is a problem once you figure out where it is coming from, then you can call the SPCA instead of sending them on a wild goose chase (or dog chase in this case....lol)

There is nothing wrong with checking out the sound if your gut feeling tells you there might be a problem. When I was at my KY farm, I woke up at 1:30am & hears a horse crying out. I listened for awhile & it didn't go away.....I called my neighbors because it sounded like it was coming from the stream area & thought a horse might be injured. Found out it was only a stallion being a stallion at time of the morning.....but they didn't mind because they appreciated that their neighbor was listening if something really would happen.

They also came over to my farm when they heard a dog barking to check & see if I was ok. They knew I live there alone with my dog & were worried about something being wrong. I appreciated that, knowing if something was wrong, someone was listening too.

I also go back & check on animals....mostly ones that are on the road & have helped some off the freeway before. There is nothing wrong with caring or looking into it oursleves. If your BF isn't that way, it doesn't stop you from doing what is necessary.

Trust yourself,
