In my area, many dogs regularly *** and ***** (i'm a witness) and lick my neighbors' windows. Of course, that kind of behavior makes me furious, but mysteriously, clovers grow on the ground exposed to dog secretions. So my question is precisely, what kind of relationship lies between the chemical components in a dog's organism and the prerequisites for a clover to grow?

It is most likely that the dogs pee is lowering the PH of the soil (more acidic) to a level more favourable for clover. I'm not studied up on the inner workings of a dog, but generally pee and poo is regarded fertiliser. So in an environment of more favourable PH and fertiliser, Any plant will tend to grow well.
If you harvest the clover, mix it with the right microbes and let it ferment. You can then distill the "wash" to make ethanol. (Cellulose ethanol)
Ethanol is one of many alternative vehicle fuels. Quite an interesting subject, Alternative Fuel Vehicles. There is a category about it in Yahoo Answers.(yep this is it)
