In this fascinating video, there is evidence that dogs may actually be able to tell time – a construct that, theoretically, only humans should be able to understand.
Researchers took a family of two people and their dog. In the week-long test, they watched how Jaz, the dog, would routinely seem to know when his male owner was coming home, almost down to the minute. They wanted to know how he did this, so one day, they had the owner's wife take a few of his shirts, and scatter them around the apartment. After doing this, her husband came home that night without Jaz greeting him at the door, which lead researchers to think that possibly, a dog's sense of smell has something to do with their ability to tell time.
Perhaps as their owners' scents dwindle, they begin to realize that the time is drawing near for them to return!
While this isn't a proven theory, it's still really interesting, and something to think about the next time your dog gets excited before another family member comes home!
