The dog most likely detect the P-wave from the earthquake, this is a fast moving but relatively weak shockwave, that only gives a vetical movement of the ground.
The longer away from the quake you are, the longer time you will have between the P-wave... and the powerfull and destructive S-wave.
P=Primary S=Secondary

Cool! My beagle slept through an earthquake once seriously lol

Wow, so the dog takes off three quarters of a second before the drawer opens?
Not shocking, since the dog was laying on the floor and probably heard the earthquake happening.
"senses" yeah, hearing, feeling.. just like most other chordates.

That dog got the hell out of there in a hurry!!!! Love it! God bless mans best friend. Amazing animals!
Dogs have keener hearing and sense of smell than humans. When a quake happens, there is a sub-audible (to human ears) rumble. They can detect vibration and changes in the air that we'd not notice. It's all very true and anyone who knows dogs would know this.
damn that dog was haulin ass!.. hope everyone was ok
