"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -- Rom. 8:28
When my mother had a Dobermann as a pet, the Goodyear Blimp used to fly over our house regularly, droning loudly. Sasha ignored it, not even looking up at it, until one time she and I were in the backyard with the blimp passing over us. I pointed up, and Sasha looked up at the blimp I was pointing at, and barked at it. For the rest of her life, she barked every time the blimp passed over anywhere near the house. Not that she could ever retrieve it, but I had created . . . . Something. Not a monster, but with a single gesture I showed her what was making that noise, and she understood she was to announce its presence.
