Dogs and other animals have demonstrated psychic ability, which is termed anpsi which is part of the paranormal realm. The sixth sense of dogs has been demonstrated, tested and documented many times.
They have sensed the imminent arrival of a loved one and when a loved one is about to die, telepathy. They have sensed natural and other disasters before they happen, precognition. Dogs have sensed people’s seizures, heart attacks, strokes and have detected cancer.
They have found their loved ones when the humans have moved far from home to a place the dog had never been or found their way back home from long distances, psi-trailing. They have reacted to the presence of a ghost, ghost seeing. They have become ghosts.
When I was 15, a very good friend of the family died. The night before, the neighbor’s dog howled almost all night. This was the first time I had heard about dogs howling before a loved one dies. Since then I had heard and read about other dogs howling before a loved one’s death.

In 1928, Mai Packwood was bringing wash in from the wash line at 11 PM. Her husband, Tom, was at work and would not get home until 2:15 AM. As she shut the back door behind her, she heard the lock click.
She did not usually lock her doors, although the neighbors used to advise her to keep them locked. She realized she had left the front door unlocked. She put the laundry basket in her children’s bedroom when she heard an angry growl from a large dog. The growling grew louder, then the animal gnashed his teeth. Mai was stunned. They did not have a dog and the neighborhood dogs were small.
The woman peeked out of crack by the door and saw the biggest dog she had ever seen. Hackles on his neck and shoulders were raised. His muscles were tense and he was crouched, ready to spring. Then she saw what the dog reacted to. A man was slowly coming up the stairs. Mai felt terrified.
She felt the intruder was dangerous and destructive. When the man put his foot on the landing and the dog was upon him. They rolled down the stairs and, when they got to the bottom, the man screamed, shook himself free and ran away.
The dog followed him out to the porch and lay down with his back to the door. She locked the front door. Mai wanted to pet the dog, but she was afraid to go outside.
When Tom came home, he asked Mai where she got the dog. She told him what had happened while she made a steak for his dinner. Before Tom ate, they both went out and petted the huge animal. Tom said he had never seen such a big dog. The couple hoped the dog would stay.
Tom gave the dog his steak, but the animal did not eat it. The next morning, both the dog and the meat were gone. Mai and Tom spent most of the morning, driving around and looking for the dog. They asked neighbors about the animal and wire greeted with skeptical looks when they mentioned his size. They never saw the dog again.
That evening, there was an article in the paper about a criminally insane man who was recaptured about a mile away from where Mai and Tom lived. He had deep bite marks from a dog he claimed was as big as a yearling. The authorities did not believe the size of the animal was true, but they made sure the criminal got rabies shots.

Dogs have been known to give early warning signs of epileptic seizures, heart attacks and diabetic comas. Andrew Edney DVM examined 121 accounts of dogs doing this.

Do dogs smell a chemical imbalance? Do they sense a drop in the person’s body temperature? These are the two prevailing theories as to how dogs detect seizures, cancer and heart attacks. Or, is it anpsi?

Yes, dogs exhibit psychic ability, although, some, like detecting seizures and other health problems and sensing fear could be attributed to a keener sense of smell or other scientific factors.
