3. They have super hearing and learned the sound and vibrations of your car from a distance.
4. Great sense of smell also helps.
5. If the TV or Music is on the same channel — they remember what comes next.
6. They understand our language and listen to key phrases.
7. They also must have a built in clock, solar activated.
8. They listen and observe everything and especially love to please.

Makes sense except that my dog would know my in-laws were arriving before any of the "humans" in the house did... and at least a few minutes in advance which would be during various times of morning, day or evening AND in different cars. I can understand that perhaps a specific acoustic signature of the exhaust (highly unlikely given the distance a car covers in 5 minutes) but various cars? Hmm...
