Don't worry, I have no intention in trying to run an experiment...
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring 
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

I think you misunderstood.  I just wanted to  rule out the possibility that the dog simply has a good sense of time.  I wasn't expecting you to become Max Sheldrake! LOL

I don't know. For all I know she might ring them to let them know she's on her way home...  Unsure

She's utterly devoted to them, and they are to her... she doesn't have a car, she has a transit van fitted out for transporting dogs... and travels to all sorts of dog agility competitions around the region.
