The Unexplained Powers of Animals

Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, has spent many years investigating the unexplained powers of animals. He summarized some of this research in his bestselling book Dogs That Know When their Owners Are Coming Home. Now, for the first time, he brings the various strands of these investigations together in this webinar, drawing on more than 6,000 case histories in his database and on a wide range of experimental tests.

Many companion animals pick up on their owners’ thoughts, intentions and feelings. If their owners are in physical or emotional pain, some dogs and cats respond by comforting them, and have measurable healing effects. Some cats seem to intuit when their owners plan to take them to the vet, and hide; some dogs feel when their owner is thinking of taking them for a walk, and most strikingly, many dogs, cats, parrots and other animals seem to know when their owners are coming home, even when they are miles away, and even when they are returning at non-routine times in unfamiliar vehicles.
