Dogs often display incredibly strong intuitions. They often immediately pick up on the mood of a room, and many times, they seem to instinctively know when bad things will happen. Does that mean they’re psychic?
Here are 5 things dogs are able to sense!
1. Seizures
There are actually dogs who are trained to alert their handlers before a seizure. This is because they can recognize these signs before they happen instinctually. It’s still unknown how they figure it out!
2. Earthquakes
Tales of dogs knowing an earthquake is about to strike have been around since ancient Greece, when dogs fled Helice in a rush before a huge earthquake hit. Scientists believe that this supreme psychic sense could actually be the very strong sense of hearing that dogs have alerting them of shifting rocks.
3. Disease
Humans actually give off scents of disease when they develop illnesses like diabetes and even some cancers. A dog might sniff you a lot if they detect some sort of scent of an illness.
4. Labor
Yes, dogs have been able to predict when women will go into labor! Often, they shadow the women in their families one or two days before labor will happen.
5. Storms
The electromagnetic force generated by storms can be sensed by dogs way before they actually hit. Dogs can also hear distant thunder rumbling.
