I entered a shop with my trusty (?) Fido and plundered it since I had a
wand of digging.  But, lo and behold, when I left via my new exit, Fido did
not follow!  And I was even carrying Tripe rations!  I found a whistle and
that didn't work either!  Of course, that shop owner blocked the  main 
entrance, so I couldn't leave that way.  Is Fido's disobedience a bug in
the code?  Is it possible he can't see the new exit?  As it turns out I died
when I later tried to retrieve him, wand of polymorph in hand.  I was done in
by two bands of Orcs (and my "Orcrist" sword wasn't up to the task!).

It's a shame you didn't try to enter the shop again through the old
(normal) entrance (assuming you did not aggravate Dirk the Shopkeeper).
He would let you in, you should have rested a while (hitting space/.), and
then your doggie would be adjacent to you.
Now say goodbye and leave.

Actually, no monsters will follow you through newly constructed tunnels.
You can use this to great effect.  Use your wand to create a new doorway
and then step into the tunnel one square past the doorway.  Monsters will
step into the doorway (and take a shot at you if they are "fast") but will
then just sit there while you beat them to death.  You'll have to step back
into the room occaisionally to lure another monster into the doorway.  This
is especially effective around killer bees, orcs, or if you have a wand of
create monster.
