Well, if Marko is a male dog, yes you may want to take him to the vet to find out the best diet to put him on! Either way YES!! Good one;^)

Yes, take your dog to the vet. I've had several pregnant dogs in the past.
If the dog really is pregnant, and she gives birth, then you should try getting her fixed, or when you let her out for a bathroom break, make sure your gates are secured, but if you don't have gates, make sure she's only out for about 5 - 10 minutes so any male dogs around won't have much of a chance to get to her.
(Male dogs can smell females in-heat from far away and will find her even if they don't live near you)

Any unuasual behaviors like that should definately checked up on by its vet. Go to chihuahualoving.com Your dog might not be a chihuahua but this site has some helpful info on breeding/ pregnancy that is pretty much the same for any dog.

Yes, you should definetly take "Marko" to the vet. They will know exactly what is wrong with her. You need to be more careful, and pay more attention to what your dog does when she goes outside, especially if she isn't fixed.

No, but a very powerful do can give a berth to a cat. Or if the dog is acting like a midwife for some reason, it can "give birth" to a cat

If she is a female that hasn't been fixed then yes it is possilbe she is pregnant as to anything else it could be bloat or something else where she should see a vet immidiately if it is bloat it can kill quickly.
Don't wait until tomorrow.
I hope it's nothing but don't wait to see what might happen as I said bloat or a blocked intestine could be deadly.

Yes that would be a good idea. You dog might just be ill.
