He also alerted me by going crazy and my door, and then at my grandmother's door when I let him downstairs, that my grandmother had fallen asleep with her sink running and her apartment was flooding.

A dog I had many years back we eventually left with my grandmother so she wouldn't be by herself so much.

She had a habit of setting the phone down where it didn't quite disconnect and eventually the busy signal would start. She couldn't hear it but the dog could, so she'd sit by the phone and bark until my grandmother hung it up properly.

She would also alert her to things like leaving the water running, not closing the door all the way, forgetting a kettle boiling on the stove, and so on.

The more forgetful she became as she got older, the more things the dog figured out ways of reminding her about.
