Dogs That Know

Dogs That Know - Alex Tsakiris, Skeptiko

Many dog owners claim that their pets anticipate their return, typically by going to wait at a door, window, driveway, or even at a bus stop (Sheldrake, 1994). In the early 1990's, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, a biologist, and former Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge University, completed a number of survey studies to find out how many pet owners had observed seemingly psychic abilities in their pets. Sheldrake's household surveys found that 46% of dog owners had noticed this ability in England and 45% in California.

How You Can Make $1,000

Lets Replicate the Experiment! The “Dogs that know when their owners are coming home” experiment is being funded in cooperation with University researchers. Besides fame and notoriety for special dogs, there is the offer of a $1,000 prize to any dog owner willing to successfully participate in the study. If you would like to participate, please contact Joy Turner at 425-867-1779 or e-mail her at Joy@TalkWithYourAnimals.com.
