I've had a Nest camera in my living room for years just to keep an eye on our dogs while we're away from home. One of the dogs, a basset hound/border collie mix, often howls and makes "squeeing" noises while we're away. Nest (or Google now, I suppose) without fail thinks that this is actually a person talking in my living room and sends us notifications alerting us to this fact. If he moves around, Nest thinks it's a person moving in my living room.

It has no problem identifying our other two dogs as actual dogs who bark and move like dogs.
