A Psychic Dog?

Ok well I was just browsing the psyblog website and I happened to run into and interesting article posted on there. I read an article about a lady who thought her dog was psychic. The dog, Jaytee, was claimed to have been able to psychically sense when her owner was returning home. This brought lots of media, which filmed this remarkable dog doing just as the owner said-- Jaytee was filmed running out to the porch and awaiting his owner. But was all this just a coincidence? Well, one professor wasn't convinced and conducted some experiments of his own. He made sure no one knew when Jaytee's owner was to arrive home.She was to come home at a random time to prove that the dog could have just ran out to wait at the same time every day as a routine. The professor was right, it was just a coincidence. The dog just happened to know that about the same time each day his owner would come home. This article not only proves that dogs don't have psychic abilities, but humans too. Anyways, I though this was real intriguing and I find it similar to the same study of humans having psychic powers. We simply do not have psychic powers.

  1. Well, I completely agree with everything you've said. I think it's ridiculous that people think that there are such things as psychic powers. I mean, my dog, Clifford also waits for me every time I get home from school at the end of the driveway. He also knows that on Wednesday that I have guitar. Hmm... maybe Clifford's psychic too!!!!! NOT
