\r\n <!-' + '- google_ad_section_start -' + '->My mum doesn\'t have a regular routine (she is retired) but her dogs know at least half an hour before her arrival that she is on her way. I don\'t know how they know, but they dance with excitement long before they could possibly hear the car. My dog knows too, but I have more of a routine so it is less surprising. Has anyone else noticed that their pets know when family members are coming home.

I saw an experiment where they filmed the owner coming home at all different times and filmed the dog at the same time. The dog consistently knew when the owner was coming home no matter how much that time varied. It seems that dogs have a psychic link with their owners!
