Anybody remember the Malcolm in the Middle episode where Reese joined a dog pack and started acting like a dog? The mailman showed up and Reese went to the window and started shouting, "Who are you? You don't live here?! Go away! Go! Go! Go!" Exactly like a barking dog. I think all those kids were underappreciated as actors. Although they're each worth like $10 million now. So okay, happy ending.

Thanks! I was remembering it wrong as "Go!" but 'What!" is a lot better.

I have a dog and a five year old. The dog will, indeed, engage with the mail person; he won't bark, but he'll stand at the window and kind of huff.

One time, he did so and my child also ran over to the window, asking something like "who is that?!" I jokingly suggested that the kid could help the dog to defend the property.

Since then, whenever the kid notices anyone unexpected on the porch, they run to the window going "huff! Huff!" I haven't seen any delivery people react yet, but I have to wonder what they think.
