Of course they have no responsibilities and have two humans at their beck and call - especially this human.
There's a comic strip called "Luann" in the local paper. In one strip, she's sleeping, and her dog (which of course sleeps on her bed with her) starts barking, and wakes her up. It then goes back to sleep, and she's there with one eye open, obviously not going back to sleep anytime soon. When my one son has to be at work at 5:30 AM, his dog runs around stupid if she can't see any other people up. We've told him to leave our bedroom door open, but our other dog growls when she comes in, and then the wife yells at both of them.
I'm going to tell my son to give me his schedule so that I can get up and keep his dog from going nuts until 6 AM. We don't let her out of the house until 6 AM, because the first thing she does in the morning is bark like an idiot. Before we put the blocking plate on the doggy door, she'd be out there at 2:30 AM, barking at the moon. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
