Human : What time is it? Dog : *sniffs* smells like 4 pm

According to my Bulldog it's always bed time lol.

Plot twist: Dog already knows what the humans are up to and is just playing along.

'It seems Jazz somehow knows that Johnny is coming home' - Well there's a clock right there on the wall.

5am every morning my dog wakes me up by staring into my soul.

poor dog feels so dejected after you played that trick on him.

He was depressed because he thought his owner turned into a ghost.

"Now let's not pretend that this is scientific!" is one of the most beautifuli things I've heard. With everyone jumping to conclusions based on flawed studies and research or even anecdotes I wish I heard that sentence more often.

they did him a h*ckin' bamboozle :(

back in high school, the bus dropped me off at around the same time (4:45) each day. after school ended, several buses for elementary and middle schools stopped by my house before mine did (b/c they are let out earlier). my dogs learned to wait for my specific bus at its exact time. they would never bother to rise from their bed unless they had “counted” 2 buses, because they knew mine was next. sometimes id have to stay in school for meetings etc and my mom told me if the 3rd bus passed and i didnt get home, they would cry. i still think its so cute

Dog: *”We’ve been tricked, We’ve been backstabbed, We’ve been quite possibly bamboozled”*

Poor baby looked so sad that his owner has seemingly disappeared right out of his clothing. 2:28

One of my dogs nudges my hand at exactly 5:27 every morning, 3 minutes before my alarm goes off.

Humans think of time as purely numerical when if you think about it, all it is is the moon orbiting the earth and the earth orbiting the sun. There could be plenty of other ways to tell the time, it's just that numbers make more sense to the human mind.

That front door could use a little WD-40. 🚪

Many years ago, my parents had a Border Collie, Duke. Duke could tell time. While my father didn't always feed Duke at exactly the same time every day, at exactly 5:00 PM every day, Duke would start barking for someone to feed him. You could set your watches and clocks by Duke. He would not start barking at 4:59, and he would not wait till 5:01. At exactly 5:00 every afternoon, Duke would start barking for his food. And he was an outside dog. He was outside with Gypsy and Bandit. We never noticed anything outside making noises at five o'clock. We don't know why he started barking at exactly 5:00 every afternoon; but he did. You could set your clock by him.

I don;t know how my dogs know, but they somehow have figured out their feeding time that is the same every day down to within 1 or 2 minutes & if I am 1 minute late they will come get my attention & let me know they are starving to within an inch of their lives lol

Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? It's hardly ever for them.

I work in the canine behavior industry and this is something that I've always wondered about. One of the most prominent and universal ideas I've heard from trainer is that dogs can actually smell the change in air/atmosphere at different times of day. For example, they can smell and feel changes in temperature as the sun rises or sets.

Dogs are very punctual and they have pattern. Lovely lovely creatures🥰🥰🥰

I know my dog knows my routine. But I never thought about the smell I idea.

They should have done it more than once to establish a more conclusive reading..

who else wakes up exactly 1 minute before the alarm clock goes off just to turn it off and go back to sleep?

Maybe the dog has secretly put a GPS sender onto his owner. That way he can track him on DOGNET.

I don't know why everyone seems so surprised! Give dogs some credit! We can't be the only egg heads on the entire planet!

when I moved to another country and couldn't take my dog with me, everytime I called my family, they tell me my dog came close to the person in the phone and listen to the whole conversation, as if he knew it was me :( this is sad when we have to leave and give up on our pets.

Nothing more loving then a dog waking you up in the morning--while in your face. Cats... they want to be fed, then they think "'k, I'm outta here, yo!"

I was just clicking on the video bc of the cute Dog in the Thumbnail :)

That is the cutest dog ever omg 😊😄😅

Doesn't this prove more that dogs recognize routine rather than time?

For some reason , that house feels so warm ❤

My dog always used to come to the bus stop to take me back home whenever I would reach the bus stop after school.. He always stood there on time. Dogs do really know time.

Jazz is good peoples

Animals can tell time. Period. Every day, my horses make their ways through the pasture. At a certain time every day, they are at a certain spot. After breakfast, they make their ways to the back of the pasture and work their ways back to the barn by the end of the day. At 10:30 almost every morning, they are grazing by the arena. They usually drink at the same times, too. I set my clock every morning to get up but my pet pig religiously wakes up at 4:45 am and expects breakfast. His daily routines are so predictable. I can set my watch by his actions, to the minute. The pig and the dog are able to hold their potty breaks the entire day while I'm at work. I put puppy pads down for both, but they never use them. My birds squawk at the same times three times per day. Like clockwork. Also, I have lots of wildlife here on the farm that show up at the same times everyday. Animals can tell time.

My grandad used to come round every Wednesday evening at around 7pm. Our dog loved him and the amazing thing was she would stand waiting by the front door just before 6 every Wednesday. Suggesting she not only had an idea of the time but also the day of the week! I never understood how she could do that. It seems that would be too long to be basing it on his scent 🤔

Whenever the Simpsons theme tune played at 6pm my dog would wait at the door for my dad. Dogs are awesome

I would have liked to see them test this theory more than once.

What a gorgeous Vizsla! We were owned by a Vizsla for 14 years. She liked to go to bed (yes, she slept on the bed with us) at 9:30 pm. My husband was a night owl, so I usually went to bed first. , And every night at around 9:30 Beka would come to me and bark, whine, nudge and pester until I gave up and went to bed. After the first month of this I always checked the clock when she accosted me, and it was always within 10 minutes on either side of 9:30. She would be confused when we changed the clocks in the spring and fall, but she always got back on track within a day or so. Likewise, the horses at a nearby barn always gathered at the gates of their pastures at 4:30 pm, which is when they were brought in and given dinner. Like Beka, they were confused by the change in fall and spring, but they, too, adjusted within a few days.

BBC needs more pups in their lives. Lots of dogs do this.

Dogs can’t use clocks, so they’ve developed a sense of time without. Humans would be no different if sun dials and clocks never came into existence.

Not once have I ever assumed that only the human mind can grasp the concept of time.

Our dogs can tell if we're close to home. They do this bark-kind-of-greeting telling the other that we have arrived and they have different barks for specific individuals. Animals are amazing!

I should go to sleep early 3am:

You knew very well that I HAD to click on this video when I saw the thumbnail. You sir, are using your powers for evil.

My wife found my dirty socks on the couch. Told her I'm experimenting and shown her this video......Then I realized we don't even have a dog.....

JOHNNY SAID “hey son” TO THE DOG OMGGGGG 😭

Poor dog just wants to greet his human after a long day away from him... science has gone too far

My dog used to wait for me at certain times everyday at bus stop..each time varied everyday he was always there.. he also knows every saturday is his treat day hes always jumping for joy on a Saturday morning... dogs most definitely know what day and time it is

Of course that dog can tell time, it's a WATCH dog

i love this dog so much, I JUST LOVE DOGS 😭❤️

Dog is the best real friend with unconditional love.

Aww look at the handsome Vizla boy!

I certainly can't. It's I-Should-Go-The-Fuck-To-Sleep O'clock and I'm still watching pupper videos.

0:08 "They leave the house at the same time" *man walking out the door as the lady enters the kitchen in a robe*

"Rut ro they riggered me rout" ..lol

Maaann look! He lives in that house so his scent is everywhere...

Dogs are amazing

When I was a Dalmatian, I woke up my human at the same time every day. The radio came on exactly 5 seconds after I woke him. That is, until daylight savings time happened, and all my efforts were messed up for months.

The holland lop bunnies I lived with did. They have kind learnt my daily routine by heart. And if I dared to change the timing, they were sulking. Arnold and Prosper, I've been loving you for the Eternity...and a day ❣️

my dogs know 3pm exactly for their supper, but they follow the sun I literally move carpets around to accommodate their sunbathing

Way to go humans. Thousands of years living side by side with us, and it took a smelly British couple to figure out how we tell time.

It kinda reminded me how flowers are able to tell time, they open when the sun is up and close when it’s down. It’s another way to tell time.

There at work, a couple of dogs each day at 5pm, and with a punctual timing they ask (or bark) desperately to be released so they can ran over the store. From Monday thru Friday, as soon as we close the front desk, even if there is sound or people, they go nuts cause they know they are gonna be free to go around. I love them. So much energy and happiness. Despite of all, they run to you to smack your face with their tongues. Its so beautiful. I'm pretty sure they know so much about everything, just because we cant mind what they are thinkin, it doesnt mean they are not thinkin something.

I love you BBC! Quito-Ecuador 2020

My old dog was even stranger. My Dad works away a lot and returns different days and different times, but the dog always knew he was coming back 30 minutes before he arrived. Sometimes we didn’t even know he was coming back because he would surprise us, but the dog gave it away 😂

This same thing happens with our cat. Like a routine. When my dad comes home from work every night at the same time our cat is always waiting in the same spot in the kitchen every time.

Every living thing knows when it’s time for lunch.

This makes a lot of sense, it would help a dog to gauge how recently a competitor had been through their territory and left a scent marking. So they know if they have a fight on their -hands- paws.

According to my Beagle it’s always dinner time.

In the morning my dog opens my door ;-; And jumps on me He’s 120 lbs

3 minutes and 29 seconds more interesting than virtually anything on American tv.

When I was a kid my cat would be waiting for me at the bus stop every day. I don’t know how early she got there but without fail she would walk me home every day.

My dog Charlie seems to be aware (usually 95% of the time unless he's being lazy or distracted). I have alarms on my phone that go off at different times of the day and on different days of the week. Every day at 6:30 am the first alarm goes off and Charlie wakes up and runs down the hallway, opens my son's door and wakes him to take his medications. He does this again at 7:30pm and will not leave my son until he actually sees my son take the medication. Monday-Friday at 1:45 pm another alarm goes off and Charlie will get excited and run to the door knowing it is time to get in the car and pick up my daughter from school. During this time there are other alarms that go off for different errands I need to run, appointments, etc. and he does nothing. The same alarm tone is used for all the alarms so there is nothing specific about them to alert him to which alarm it is. I no longer get up or need to remind my son at all because the dog makes sure every single day unless we are away from. During these times that we are away, my other son says that Charlie with no alarm with still goes to my son's room any time between 7:15pm - 7:40pm and frantically pace back and forth and also run to the door waiting for him to get back home.

Dogs are really good at sensing time. Someone would always walk my dog at 6am, so by the time i would walk over to the garage door at 6. He'd be standing there with excitement lol

This video demonstrates the intelligence of an animal and It's amazing how animals use their abilities. That makes them unique.

Yep dogs have a sense of time, I used to take my dog for a walk at 6.30pm, he would sit in front of the tv near the time trying to get our attention to take him for a walk. Man he was one smart dog, miss him 😪

When I get this video recommend to me at 4am I don’t need sleep, I need answers!

*Plot Twist:* _The day of the experiment was daylight savings time and the clocks moved back 1 hr._

5 minutes before 4, my dogs dinner time, they both go absolutely nuts. Every single damn day. They know time. 100%.

1:35 OMG that face

My dog, who’s 15, seems to know whenever it’s 5pm (dinner time) every single day no matter what we are all doing even if she’s out at the park at 5pm, she’ll still be like “I know it’s dinner time”

Dog: I can smells time Human: wat?

The best thing to come out of the BBC

It shows how much a dog is concerned about his hoomans when they don’t come home on time.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Humans: this dog's instict is fascinating Dog: *actually just looks at the clock*

Can dogs sense stuff that humans can't? When I was a little girl, my three cousins whose father had just died in his sleep stayed with us for a couple of days. One of them was sleeping with me in my room on a bunk bed situated against the windows from which you can look out and see whoever's outside door. On the first night, I was awakened by a continuous, muffled-sounding knocks on the door at the same, our dog was barking relentlesstly at the door. I got up and peeped through the window.....and there was no one there 😱 I ran back to bed and hid under my blanket. I was too terrified to even wake my cousin. The dog kept barking and the knocking stopped... The next day, I told everyone what had happened and they thought I was just trying to scare them...

YES! Well, they can for sure pickup on what day it is. My brother’s GORGEOUS pitbull is deathly afraid of the trash truck and wakes up every Monday shaking. Then she knows what day Saturday is because she wakes up ready to go to the park. Every Monday and Saturday without fail. It’s beyond adorable.

It's the scent, their sense of smell is strong. My parents have had dogs together and they first one would always know when I'm coming down the road, so does the one they have now, he always come running up by the door, waiting for me or he climbs up on the sofa and waits by the windows. The second I'm close to the house, he will begin barking like crazy.

To make this a fair test they need to keep spreading the smell of the owner throughout the house 'resetting the smell' and see if the dog adapts after some time and once again knows when the owner's about to return. Until then I'm not entirely convinced. I think if a cow knows when it's about to rain, a bird knows which way south is ...then it's not even that hard to imagine that a dog can sense what time it is!

Farmers know the time by looking at the sun. Pretty accurate too !

My dog gets up at the same time everyday to watch me and my sister leave for school, and then she’s waiting on the windowsill (she jumps up and watches) at the same time everyday for us to come home. She’s got a basic understanding of time. I know she does this because I stayed home sick one day and she had no clue. We’ve got some security cameras downstairs and I get the live feed from my iPad so I was just chillin and watching T.V from my room. That was fun because I didn’t need to go downstairs. I couldn’t change the channel or anything but it was worth it. But I was watching my dog, too, because even though I was sick, I was home alone and if she needed to use the bathroom, I had to walk her... I just noticed how about 15 minutes before my bus came, she jumped up and started watching for it. (She didn’t ask to go on a walk all day, again. She thought she was alone. I was in my room all day.) She started whining when the bus came, and then it left without dropping me off, and she looked confused. So I got up, opened my door, and called her up to my room. I scared her lol.

Such a beautiful dog!

first thing I do when I wake up is to give my dog her pills (for heart disease) with a treat. If I oversleep, she comes to my room and wakes me up.

my dog always know the right time when i arrive home too

Very interesting approach!

A buddy once asked me how his dog recognized turning clocks forward or back. My answer was 'conditioning'.. We live most of our lives by routine. The dogs adapt within a day or two.

I doubt the human mind can be the only thing to sense as time progresses. Animals get bored too. They evolved right there with us, so I can only imagine they understand it to some effect, just not as deeply as our understanding of how we define time.

Should be done on many dogs and multiple time to test this theory

Dogs, such sweet loving behavior💗

He’s a good boy
