Does your dog seem
to know when you’re coming home? Do other people in your house tell you they knew you were on the way home based on how your dog was acting? If so, your dog might be a good candidate for our experiment,
and
may earn a $1,000 prize offered
to successfully
participants.

The Dogs That Know Phenomena
We're looking for dogs and owners willing to participate in a research project looking at the special bond that we share with our animals.
You may be wondering if you've heard of this somewhere
before. Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, a biologist, and former
Fellow
of Cambridge
University
investigated this
phenomena in the mid-90s. He even wrote a book titled, Dogs
That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home. While many
dog owners, trainers and other experts have witnessed this behavior
some scientists remain unconvinced. This
research project
aims
to resolve
this question. We invite
you to help.
Tell Us Your Story
Do you have a story of unexplainable communication between you and
your dog? If so, we'd love to hear from you. Drop us a note along
with a picture
of your dog and tell us what happened. You can reach us at: info@dogsthatknow.com.
Here is a sampling of stories we've received:
