Do Dogs Have a Sense of Time? 🐾⏳ (And Can They Tell You’re Late?)

🔍 Science-Backed Insights
A study published in the journal Animal Cognition found that dogs can distinguish between 1 hour and 5 hours! 🧪📊 This suggests our furry friends have a sharper internal clock than we might assume.

Predicting Daily Events:
✅ Dogs with fixed walking routines will wait by the door 10 minutes early — like clockwork! 🚪⏱️
✅ If you work late, your dog’s stress behaviors (whining, pacing) peak exactly at your usual homecoming time. A 2022 survey found 78% of owners reported this pattern.
