Formula 1 testing in Bahrein was the scene over the last two days of two distinct incidents that caused some confusion.
Tuesday's action gave the Scuderia Ferrari reason to test its safety emergency procedures for a KERS failure, after the energy re-use system aboard Kimi Raikkonen's car overheated.
The Finn lost three hours due to what was diagnosed as a problem with his car's KERS cooling circuit.
"This unexpected incident was a useful experience for the future," a report on the Ferrari website read.
On Wednesday, stray dogs running across the track brought out the red flags.
The two dogs had found their way into the circuit from the surrounding desert area, local media reported.
A spokesman for Bahrain International Circuit said the animals were captured without incident and released unhurts.
F1's governing FIA took a very dim view of the Istanbul circuit last year after Bruno Senna's GP2 car struck and killed a stray dog during a support race.
