15 Peculiar Facts About Dogs That You Probably Didn't Know

4. Dogs Have a Sense of Time

Dogs might not be able to tell time in the same way we do, but they have an incredible internal clock. They can sense the passage of time and remember routines with surprising accuracy. Whether it’s knowing exactly when it’s dinner time or when it’s time for a walk, dogs have a keen ability to pick up on patterns and predict what’s coming next. They pay close attention to the small changes in our behavior—like when you start moving around the kitchen or grab their leash—and it helps them stay in tune with your daily schedule. It’s one of the many ways they show just how keenly in touch they can be with their surroundings and their human companions.
