Telepathy

 
Communication between humans and dogs

In 1919, the American naturalist William Long published a fascinating book entitled 'How Animals Talk', in which he explained how the dog he had had as a child, an old setter called Don, reacted to him at boarding school time: "I hated leaving Don behind when I had to go back to school, and he always seemed to know when I was on my way back home again. For months, he would stay near the house and obey every word spoken by my mother, who actually never wanted a dog. But on the day I was expected back, he would leave the site, even though he wasn't allowed to, and go to a small rise behind the lane from which he could look over the main highway. And whatever time I arrived, at midday or midnight, I always found him waiting for me. Once I left my school without telling anyone at home. On that day, my mother couldn't find Don, and kept calling him in vain. A few hours later, after he had still not appeared in answer to her calls and had even missed lunch, my mother went looking for him and found him waiting expectantly at his look-out point ... Without doubting in the least that my room would soon be needed, she went back to the house and got the room ready. If the dog had often wandered up there, one might have viewed the whole thing as coincidence; but he only went there on days on which I was expected. Once, he was seen going to take up his post a few minutes after my train departed in a city a long way away. Apparently he knew when I set off to come home."
