Is Your Dog Psychic?

Welcome to the Twilight Bone where dogs not only have
extraordinary senses of smell and hearing but also an
extraordinary sixth sense.


Stories abound about dogs that find their way to their
owners after amazing journeys. A famous tale or tail is from
World War I. Just a few days after an owner was sent to France,
his beloved dog went missing.


Weeks later, his dog turned up in the trenches with him.
Somehow, the dog had covered more than 200 miles across
England, crossed the English Channel and safely made it
over 60 miles of battlefield to find his owner.


You probably know dogs with at least some mystic senses.
For instance, my brother has a dog that always seemed to know
when it was 6 p.m. and would sit at the back door waiting for
his mistress to come home.


Rupert Sheldrake, author of Dogs That Know When Their
Owners Are Coming Home
(available at amazon.com), believes
that animals have abilities that humans may have possessed at
one time, but somehow lost.


He believes there are three major categories of unexplained
perceptiveness by animals:



  • Telepathy - a psychic connection that some pets may have
    with their owners that enables pets to "know" when their
    owners are on their way home.

  • The Sense of Direction - the ability that explains the dog
    from World War I.

  • Premonitions - which may explain why some animals seem
    to know when earthquakes and other events are about to occur.


This latter ability is the reason some scientists believe
primitive islanders survived the recent Tsumari. They knew
how to read natural signs from animals, such as flight patterns
of birds, and headed away from the shore.


For more information, read Mr. Sheldrake's book from your
library or amazon.com.
