Rupert Sheldrake has written a book about dogs super senses called “Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home”. I used to visit an aunt at a senior home. When someone was near death the facility cat would go into the room and sit on the bed, if allowed by family, as the person passed. It always knew. We joked that no one wanted kitty coming around. I worked with another person who was terminally ill and his dog would faithfully sit by the bed and guard him with love…yes love. The eyes of the dog looking at his master could only be described as love. So, not surprising that they may be effective with UAP! NHI.
Having developed attunement to my horses over 20 years of raising them and caring for them, I once noticed my mare's attention down in our field. Without moving, I followed her gaze, and there in the center of the field sat a black panther. The moment it felt my attention on it, it took one leap and exited my property which is 200 feet wide. The next week there was a picture of a black panther on a trail cam in an adjacent county. Both of my neighbors had seen the panther prior to my sighting. We are in a very populated rural area. It was amazing.
Since UAP seem to communicate telepathically, it does not surprise me that animals recognize the transmission. I work at a residential recovery center where clients bring their alert dogs and emotional support dogs. It is fascinating to learn about what they do and how they are trained. I also had been told years ago that cats are psychic and could see into a different realm. My work there is with horses and humans interacting experientially. Horses are hypervigilant. Unless people are congruent - the same on the outside as on the inside emotionally - the horses are wary because it is confusing. Horses work in the emotional field. I have never believed that AI could achieve that. The animals have awakened a 'knowing sense' in me that I believe idigenous humans often have retained. AI, after all, is 'artificial' intelligence, NOT embodied. There is a research struggle in equine-assisted work to define how the process works because of what is embodied and what is unseen and difficult to replicate. Animal lovers simply know it works.
Our Grey Parrot "heard" an earthquake as it occurred. She tilted her head obviously hear something from the ground. Immediately, she acted frightened. Later we learned from the radio there had been a small plate movement a few miles below (Seattle burb). Apparently, some are sensitive to low frequency sounds.
Great article as always. I wonder if this ought to cause promoters of the noosphere to reconsider what intelligences contribute to it. It seems to me that non-human animals contribute to the development of the noosphere as well, especially if they can sense/perceive this phenomenon like you described. I think Rupert Sheldrake would also be a great dialogue partner on this topic.
My stepfather was a bishop in Western Canada (two short stints consulting in Baltimore and DC) in the Church of England. He was not literal in his understanding of the “legends”. I was never a believer in religion… but his sermons were mesmerizing.
One Christmas (always the largest audience) he spoke eloquently, poetically about the use of silence in the bible. Silence always precedes the most important messages, all messages from divine beings. Silence is necessary to know the truth?
The tech world cultural imperative seems to be more “engagement”, more notifications, more apps, wearable devices, postings, likes, replies, streaming, podcasts, tinkles, buzzes, vibrations. The promise of A.I. Is to make us “need” it more… the same way the junkie needs crack?
Maybe technology destroys humanity indirectly, ironically, by making opaque, unintelligible, the truth. Humans fill that void too often with dangerous, unhealthy things.
Have you ever had your dog stare at a point above your head? Or maybe at someplace on the wall when you don't see a thing? I've had multiple dogs all my life and always found these behaviors unexplainable.
I would love to just be able to get in their head for 5 minutes.
Yes, dogs know things. My dog freaks out when I think in my mind that she needs her claws trimmed. A year ago she got suddenly ill and wouldn't eat. The vet said she had kidney disease and I should put her down. She wasn't in pain and lived for going next door to visit the neighbors and their dog so for six days we did that. Then she got better. Two weeks later she was too sick to eat again and this time it was 10 days and then my neighbor offered her a treat, which she ate. I was upset because I knew this cycle would keep happening and it was excruciating to slowly lose her. At home I finally broke down and cried and asked for help for her. (I have my whole lief been an atheist) I asked for 3 more years. She has not had an episode since and all her bloodwork is normal again except one, which went back to the first diagnostic level. But the most interesting part of the whole ordeal was that three days before it all began I was walking past her food dish and a disembodied, scratchy voice said loudly in my right ear, "I'm sorry." It was the strangest sound, real words, but not exactly human, and of course no body. It wasn't scary. I was a bit surprised and asked, "sorry about what?" No reply. I assumed later that it was about the anguish I had over my dog. Months later we were in the house and she suddenly looked up at the wall next to a window and just stared at it, wouldn't respond to me for several seconds, like she could see something and assumed I could too. I don't know what to make of it. I looked up later what that voice was because it was so strange. To my surprise it matched what people who've experienced what they call angels sounded like. I don't know, but maybe my dog does.
Animals, in particular animals that have a long held covenant with humans that developed over thousands of centuries. Dogs, and horses, in my experience having had both in my lifetime, have demonstrated similar characteristics in the face of present and non obvious dangers. In my estimation, and because of personal experience they clearly have the abilities to sense, things humans are not aware of. Because of this I regard these relationships as a covenant.
My dogs seem to alert every day to things I can't see or hear. I keep thinking (reality checking, y'know) that it must be some critter in the woods outside, or someone driving in the cul-de-sac where I live. In the daylight, it's not too unnerving. But when it's dark outside and they suddenly alert to something and stare out the living room windows and down the driveway.... I keep trying to be brave. "Go out there and see what it is!" I tell myself............. But so far bravery is eluding me. :)

Odd. I was having chest pains today and during my time of pain my long haired chihuahua was sitting next barking at me till the pain left.

SQUIRREL!

very good agree
The movie Signs (2002) featured a family dog in the role of “coal mine canary.”
Good post! -thank you
Thanks Dr Pasulka

A serious topic indeed...some people also seem to possess a suprasensory awareness.
I know there is also the potential for what I call "supernarrative" though not sure I would prescribe the pursuit.
