Telepathic Abilities?

It does make me wonder if something is up with Indy.

Bacca is constantly smelling and licking Indy's face and ears. This is a fairly recent thing.
 
I do believe this is possible, along with an animal's sense of human disease, oncoming seizures, etc. I think the closer you are with your dog, the more you can work on this kind of communication. I had that kind of close relationship with my last baby, Klee, and am working on it with Brandy. I've twice now tried to tell her without words, just trying to send her my thought to go a certain way on our walk. Both times she's done it. It may be that she just wanted to go that way in the first place, but every other day she heads down our regular route.

Agreed with what others have said that anything we can do to better communicate with our furry faces the better!!! :smile2:
 
My five-year-old great-nephew has been diagnosed with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy. For those not familiar with it, it is the worst MD to have. Ben is not expected to live past his teens. Emma senses there is something wrong with him and is very gentle with him. She treats him differently than she does the other kids (those she will play rough with). He can walk along side her with his hand on her back, and she paces her steps so he can keep up as he now wears braces for support.

I'm sorry about your great-nephew. But that is oh so sweet of Emma.
 
These stories are incredible, its just such a shame that it takes times of such sadness for most of us to realize just what they are capable of sensing.

I'll admit, I've bought into this theory for a while... I don't know how far (some of it really is a little out there) but I know that Tess and I certainly have a deeper bond than I have with the boys. If I'm sick.... Tess is sick... If I'm upset, she will refuse to leave my side.... and don't think for a second that we can leave town and get it past her by hiding the luggage... she'll be waiting at the front door with that same look my Dad used to get when he caught me sneeking in past curfew...

It kind of reminds me of my first Sheltie, Dusty. He spent his whole life taking care of me, and so close to the end (only a week or so before he died) my Dad decided to repaint the house. Dusty (who could barely walk at the time) got up...demanded to be let out... posted himself at the foot of the scaffolding... gave my Dad the most scolding "woof" he could muster, and REFUSED to move until my Dad came down. At the time, it was the most we had seen him move in weeks... but his family always came first to him, no matter what. (My Dad never finished painting BTW, he hired someone to do it a few moths later... he said "Dusty told him to") :sadsmile:

I came across this news article tonight about a British soldier and his dog:

Makes you wonder just how much dogs do understand.

I saw this on the evening news. They were flown home to be buried together and people and their dogs lined the streets as the casket went by in support of them. It didn't surprise me to see such a large crowd there. Heartwrenching story.
 
Isnt it moving - the dog basically died because of lost his handler. It just shows how big a heart this dog had. I've been watching a few shows lately about the incredible heroism of dogs in helping their masters, I just love it.
 
I bet some part of his dog's death had to be due to trauma from seeing his owner shot in the firefight. The article mentioned the story of Hachiko, I watched the Richard Gere version recently which made me tear up a bit then watched the original Japanese movie depicting the story and I cried so hard, almost as hard as reading the book Where the Red Fern Grows when I was young. I think putting that book on reading lists is child abuse.
 
I agree that he knew his handler passed, and like him, could not bear to be without him. It's a very sad and heartwrenching story for sure, but in some way, I'm glad they are together forever.

Animals are so amazing and we just don't know what they are capable of. Did anyone hear of the story a few months back where (I think) a golden retriever saved a young boy from a cougar out west??? I will have to search and see if I can find the ariticle somewhere.

Whether you believe in communication this way or their abilities to acknowledge disease, etc., or not, I think you should always learn from your furry faces and feel their deep love.
