I would guess not 'sixth sense 'but the dog's acute hearing picked up the sound of movement from the earth long before the landslip .

Agree with Meg. Lucky no-one was hurt though, and that is thanks to Hazel.

Yeah, or perhaps the dog felt faint rumbling. In any case, he did not truly save his owners in the conventional sense. He sensed danger and ran for his life. Had his owners tried calling him back instead of chasing him, only he'd have survived.
