Her ears would perk up and she'd start barking at the slightest hint of anyone outside.
My son has a tiny Chihuahua/Terrier mix. She is so sensitive to what is going on outside the house that she can differentiate between a stranger and myself. When anyone other than me pulls in the driveway and gets out of the car, the barking will start. When I pull in, the barking almost immediately stops.
I drive 3 different cars, so unless she is really skilled at automobile recognition it can't be recognizing the ride.
