Yes. This case did happen. Coincidently I have recently read a book which mentions it. The great thing about that kind of incident is that it's easy to test. DR Richard Wiseman who wrote the book
Paranormality did a test on this dog, i'll quote the relevant passage that explains that it was not quite what it seemed:
Quote:
During the first test Matthew and Pan drove to a public house about 8 miles away and, once there, used a random number generator to select a time to head back - 9 p.m. Meanwhile, I continuously filmed Jaytee's [the dog] favorite window so that we would have a complete record of his behavior there. When Pam and Matt returned from the bar we rewound the film and observed Jaytee's behaviour. Interestingly, the terrier was at the window at the allotted time. So far, so good.
However, when we looked at the remainder of the film, Jaytee's apparent skills started to unravel. It turned out that he was something of a fan of the window, visiting it 13 times during the experiment. During a second trail the following day, Jaytee visited the window 12 times. It seemed his time in the window was not the clear cut signal that the clip from Austrian television suggested.
