Many scholars have studied, especially in recent years, the perceptual and sensory abilities of the dog. Unfortunately, when a species begins to study a different, it still faces the critical issue concerning the assessment of results.
Analyze the meaning of the dog returns to compare with ours because we have no other method acceptable and understandable, and that is in itself a handicap. The results obtained allow us today to take pretty much how the dog uses the five senses it shares with the man: sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste.
We have however no explanation for phenomenon appearing implement additional meaning we lack and that therefore, we fail to understand. There is relatively clear evidence of telepathic phenomenon dog.
In his book Parapsychology and the mysteries of the animal world (Milan, 1979), a Italian author Leo Alamo sites a case from the early twentieth century, during the Russo-Japanese War. A hunting dog belong with a Russian soldier had been entrusted to the dearest friend of his master when he had to go to war. The dog behaved blamelessly for six months, but one day "he began, for no apparent reason, to push terrible screams that caused serious inconvenience to his family home and neighborhood.
We tried to calm him by all means, but in vain: the poor beast ... refused all food and continued to scream until the third day. "A week later, only it was discovered that his master had died in combat in Manchuria, the same day that the dog had begun to adapt this abnormal behavior.
Alamo also mentions the case of a dog breed Cocker named Bulla who, while his mistress was on holiday, sat down at the phone and barked a few second before the latter called his family.
These episodes, and many others, have been thoroughly verified, so there is no reason to believe it is inventions. But this is not all. There are not very long, all the newspapers spoke of this dog smelling advance changes in blood sugar in the body of his master and diabetic barking to warn before it is not bad.
The publication of this new led others to report similar situations, so that we consider today to explore fully the use of the dog in the prevention of diabetic coma.
Other cases, episodes of back home is very common, but we cannot except the ordinary explanation here based on intuition: how a dog could he use his nose to convert a maritime route earthly journey?
The truth is that we do not know how and what the dog actually has meaning; or how it can sense earthquakes and storms (although now there is evidence that is capable); or how it may have events that occur miles away knowledge; or how he managed to enter (theft, moreover) that his master is angry, happy, sick or worried.
Since we fail to understand the sixth (or seventh or eighth) dog's sense, we are not able to carry out studies on the subject. We can only be content to presume that these extra senses exist, but the analysis is not yet farther.
Perhaps we know more in the future ... when we managed to understand also the functions of our brain 80% of which we know nothing yet. But better go back to the way dogs and humans have in common, and that he is able to study.
