That's a woman in a white robe
Agreed. A dead one.

That is an observation. A biologist observed that a dog reacted with what he perceived to be anticipation before their owners got home at unexpected times. He could not explain that, but that does not then automatically mean there is a supernatural explanation for it. You are using a "God of the gaps argument". I cannot explain this, therefore God (or any other supernatural explanation).
This is you, this is every memory you will ever have, this is every feeling you will ever experience, this is everything you perceive, know, or feel, this is you:
There is no "supernatural" for them to sense.
Some of the things that have happened make you wonder though. And not just dogs either.
Ever read about Lawrence Anthony. a guy they called the Elephant Whisperer. He had worked with a couple herds of elephants but had moved away and they hadn't seen him in a few years.
He died one day and the day he died all the elephants broke out of the reserve they were on and marched 12 hours to his home and stayed there for a day or so. After 'mourning' him they returned to their reserve.
As for dogs for instance yes they have a keener sense of smell than people. trained dogs can locate a buried body but some have located bodies up to 30 feet down. an argument could be made that its more than just smell at that point.
who knows.
That is what science is... observations.
I am afraid to ask but how is that relevant to ANYTHING that I have said or asked?
You have no clue what happens in the brain do you?
No surprise there.
Is it your assertion then that supernatural forces like "love", exists supernaturally within the physical realm of our central nervous system?
Not sure I understand. I think that love is an observable emotion that Cephus can show happens but can't prove who it is directed at.
Yep. You posted irrelevant information that did not prove your case and that means that I have no clue. Well done.
We know that love, an observable emotion, is generated in the central nervous system. Just because we do not know the exact mechanics of how the brain constructs the emotion, does not mean that it does not have a completely physical explanation.
You seem to think that there's a difference between what goes on in your brain and "you".
You are wrong.

Cool story. I doubt that it really happened.Some of the things that have happened make you wonder though. And not just dogs either.

Because you believe idiotic things. We know.
No, she's clearly alive.
That doesn't negate the fact that I understand this debate well and have soundly defeated his point...Don't bother. He has already stated that he does this for fun. Don't make the mistake of taking him seriously.
[h=1]Can dogs sense the supernatural?[/h]
Whether folklore or fact, many of us would like to believe that our dogs can detect unexplained or invisible presences, guided by a canine sixth sense. It's exciting, and comforting, to think a favorite dog is sensitive to a departed relative or friend.
But hard evidence of dogs' extrasensory perception is elusive and anecdotal. The 2009 book "Tails of the Afterlife," by Peggy Schmidt, chronicles multiple instances of unexplainable actions by dogs who apparently interact with something, or someone, unseen.
