My incredibly derpy husky/German shepherd mix knows what day of the week it is, if it's Saturday and I grab my keys and put my shoes on he hops in my car, if it's the work week he goes to the dog run. I love how excited he gets when he realises it's my day off

That's pretty cool. Do you think he actually understands the calendar timing, or he observes a difference in your wakeup routine?

Guess a sick day or holiday could answer that question.

I bet that dog hears a whole different pattern in the neighbourhood, so no bunch of cars at 6 or whatever in the morning, just as an obvious one.

Oir son still lives at home, and usually gets home from work around 2:30pm. About 15 min before I notice him looking out the front door then going to the garage entrance, back and forth until he hears the garage door open to greet my son. He definitely has a sense of time.
