1) Earthquakes
Records as far back as ancient Greece tells of dogs fleeing the city of Helice before a tragic earthquake. China also has stories of dogs showing signs of distress before seismic activity. Although dogs are very much aware of their surroundings, some scientists argue that a dog's hearing is so perceptive, they can hear rocks crumbling under the grounds surface. Some seismologists think that the dogs feel seismically activity through their paws. Either way, if a dog in an earthquake-prone area begins to act odd, the change in behavior shouldn't be ignored.

3) Illness (including cancer)
Humans give off faint odors of illness, such as certain cancers and diabetes. It's too subtle for another human to detect, but with the dog's amazing sense of smell, they may sniff out something that may be off. If a dog is sniffing a particular area on the owner's body obsessively, a trip to the doctor should be in order.

4) Seizures
Some dogs are specifically trained to be seizure alert dogs. These dogs are taught to alert their owners before an impeding seizure. Sometimes they even lie on top of their owners during the seizure and summon help when they can. They instinctively know what is going to happen, but no one knows exactly how a dog senses this.
