Dog senses that are above and beyond the normal sight, smell, taste, and feeling are known as ESP or extrasensory. This is thought to be observed by dog owners when they sense that their dog is reading their mind or by giving signs that they know what’s coming next. It is said that ESP can only occur if the dog and dog owner have a strong bond of love.

Research into this extra dog sense has been done at the Duke University Parapsychology Laboratory in North Carolina. Dr. Rhine let his research team to determine if the ESP phenomenon that exists in humans, also exists in animals. Similar research has been carried out by two respected Russian scientists: Bkhterev and Durov.

With the word of this dog esp research getting out, Dr. Rhine’s laboratory was flooded with reports of others who have observed this extra sense in their own pets. Several reported observing this extra sense in their fish and cats but most of the reports were around pet dogs having this extra sense.

Most of the reports of an extra Dog sense involve a homing ability or the ability of the dog to find its family even if several thousand miles separate them.

one inspiring case is that of a mixed-breed dog named Henry. Henry was left with friends in Illinois when his family relocated to Michigan. Several weeks later, Henry enthusiastically greeted his family on a street corner of their new town in Michigan.

The dog made it perfectly clear that he was looking at his family, and the stunned family was convinced that the dog was their beloved pet Henry. But was this dog Henry? The Illinois family, with whom Henry had been left, drove to Michigan to satisfy their doubts. Dr. Rhine and his staff from Duke University flew to Michigan to verify the story. After investigation it was confirmed that this dog was indeed their beloved Henry.

Another well know case around this extra dog sense involves a dog named Bob. This Collie’s “homing” feat gained him fame from all over the world, lots of fan mail, and even a movie. Bob’s adventure started out as a vacation motor trip from Oregon to the East Coast. On the way back to Oregon, Bob’s family realized that their beloved pet was gone.

After the family exhausted all searching efforts, the heartbroken family drove back to Oregon – nearly 2,500 miles. One of Bob’s most charming tricks was to hold up his right front paw when he was hungry. After four months Bob presented himself at the door of his home in Oregon – holding up his right paw.

These examples make it difficult to dispute the existence of these extra Dog senses.
