A Dog That Seems to Know When His Owner Is Coming Home: Effect of Environmental Variables

Dean Radin, Institute of Noetic Sciences, 101 San Antonio Road, Petaluma, CA 94952

Initial observations by Sheldrake and Smart from 1994 through 1997 suggested that a male terrier dog named Jaytee was able to anticipate when Smart was returning home. In a later series of 45 formal videotaped experiments, Jaytee's anticipatory behavior proved to be significantly accurate. Although Jaytee's performance was remarkably accurate on average, sometimes he failed to anticipate his owner's return. Analysis of environmental variables on the days of the tests suggests that Jaytee's behavior was significantly affected by changes in a complex assortment of geomagnetic and other environmental factors.
