Dogs That Know Experiment

 A couple of months ago I asked your help in finding dogs/owners interested in participating in an experiment to see if some dogs know when their owner’s are coming home.  Some scientists (as well as non-scientists like me) believe this happens all the time.  I’m donating money to several Universities in order to run the experiments necessary to see if this really happens.

Since first posting I’ve collected some great stories, and even found a couple of volunteers willing to give the experiment a try (you can read about them on our website).  I’ve been on a couple of radio shows talking about the experiments and even announced a $1,000 prize to all owners/dogs that successfully participate.

The reason for this post is to ask for your help in finding more dog volunteers.  If you and your dog have this kind of special connection I’d love to hear from you.  Just post a note here, or send me an email.  If you’d like to try the experiment on your own (or just learn more about it) you can check out dogsthatknow [dot] comfor more information. 

 I’m really hoping this experiment will begin to unlock the mysteries of what makes our dogs so special, and at the same time provide a little clue into what makes all of us so special.  Feel free to re-post this message anywhere you think there might be interested dog owners.

 

Thanks.
