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.
