I think that dogs...actually animals in general have a 6th sense that we don't. They can feel weather changes and impending natural disasters...why not spirits? Syd sometimes randomly barks at a spot on the kitchen wall. There is nothing there that could catch her attention...it's a blank wall. and there is no sound. It's kind of calmed down over the past year though as if she is used to whatever presence we have in our apartment...and doesn't bother with it anymore.
I also think that animals can sense badness in people. Sometimes when we are walking she will refuse to go past some people and I will literally have to pick her up to get her by them. I believe that you should listen to what your dog is trying to tell you and get the heck out of there if your dog doesn't like certain people, surroundings, or a situation. |
