I've been watching the responses to this post.
My dog scratched the glass on my patio sliding door  .......... he had
dirt on his paws the dirt / grit is abrasive. Given enough encounters the
grit scratches the glass. One or twenty times not likely but over a
period of time the grit leaves some marking.
