If I recall, it's a Sherlock Holmes reference (Wikipedia tells me the
story in question is 'Silver Blaze').  The curious thing that the dog
in the story did was 'nothing'.  Basically, one of the clues that the
actual suspect in question wasn't a stranger to the house was that the
dog wasn't disturbed by the nighttime activities, while it would have
barked at a strange person walking about.
