Are dogs psychic?

Dear diary,

When Bruno’s previous owner passed away, Bruno was in an extremely low point in his life. He would refuse to eat for days together and not a sound was heard from him. He also caught a fever which made his situation worse. We had to take him to the hospital where he was treated and given drips. I have always wondered if this was to do with the passing of his previous owner. I did know they had a very strong bond but the question remains of how exactly Bruno came to know of his demise. Does Bruno have a sixth sense? Is he psychic? Is he a special dog?

On the other hand Angel always knows when it is about to rain. She is extremely scared of the rain and cowers in fear when there is any mention of it. She hides under the tables and holds on to our legs when it is about to rain. This has always been extremely fascinating to us as it is a mystery how she knows whether it is going to rain. Does she have premonitions? Is she psychic too? To answer these questions I did a little bit of research and I have made this post to share my findings with you guys.

 

It is considered that dogs have a sixth sense, But there is always science involved when such theories are researched. Some theories of how dogs have premonitions and how they are bonded with their owners:

1.    Some forewarnings might be explicable in terms of physical clues, such as electrical changes before earthquakes and storms. Other premonitions are more mysterious, as in the case of animals that anticipated air raids during the Second World War long before they could have heard enemy planes approaching, or animals that become agitated before unforeseeable accidents. Here precognition or presentiment may be involved, implying either an influence passing backwards in time, or a blurring of the distinction between future, present and past.

 

2.    Morphic fields may also underlie the sense of direction. Animals are not only linked to members of their social group by morphic fields, but also to significant places, such as their home. These fields continue to connect them to their home even when they are far away, rather like invisible elastic bands. These bonds can consequently give directional information, “pulling” the animal in a homewards direction. Morphic fields may also underlie the sense of direction.

3.    Additionally, there are different scents humans give off that dogs can detect. They know the scent is not normal so they let you know about it. They can smell fire long before we would or the smoke detector would. We let off odors that go along with certain illnesses. There is a hormone that goes off before the seizure hits and the dog will warn the person they are going to experience the seizure.
