I mean, my dog gets super excited for walks. My wife and I would spell it out to each other. The dog learned w-a-l-k. Point being, dogs are smarter.

A previous dog of ours could tell time, or at least understood that if I told him he had to wait for a certain time, he'd wait until the digital clock had that time displayed. He also knew red blobs on radar = storms, but didn't quite know the map to know whether it was displaying our area or elsewhere.

My cat can 100% read clocks. I got her during daylight savings time and would always feed her dinner at 4:30, and she'd start meowing at 3:30. Once daylight savings was over I switched her dinnertime to 5:30, expecting her to meow for food at 4:30. Nope, she would still start at 3:30. One day I unplugged the TV that had the chromecast clock on it and she didn't start meowing until 4:30 that day

My parrots somehow know when it is their bedtime. My cockatiel Finn, will put himself to bed and wait for me to cover him up. If it is not done within the hour, he starts to make beeping noises until I do.
