If the soul is the ability to love, be loyal and grateful, then animals have it more than many people - James Harriott.
Many pet owners report that they have an almost telepathic connection with their pets. In this regard, I am more of a skeptic - after all, during the time they live together, a person and, say, a dog get used to each other, study habits, and already know in advance who and how will react to a certain situation. But a rather large group of people thinks differently: they are sure of a deeper connection between a person and a pet than simple mutual understanding.
As a result, the people are divided into two groups: those who, like me, doubt the telepathy of our smaller brothers, and those who somewhere once heard something, but did not notice themselves. And most often this refers to the fact that animals are more susceptible to changes in the environment, and are able to respond to an impending natural disaster. The scientific community has provided a fairly acceptable explanation for this ability, but some cases raise doubts about its objectivity.
First aid for an epileptic
Epilepsy ranks third among the most common neurological diseases, right after strokes and Alzheimer's disease. The attack looks quite frightening, but does not need urgent medical intervention: the person will quickly come to his senses. But during the attack itself, the help of strangers will not prevent him.
Back in the 1990s, a UK veterinarian, Andrew Edney, discovered an interesting thing. Since he practiced a lot and often, a great many animals passed through his hands. In conversations with dog owners, an inexplicable phenomenon was often traced: if the owner suffers from epileptic seizures, then the dog, regardless of breed, sex and age, for some time before "X hour" develops a vigorous activity aimed at taking his man to a safe place, and tries in every possible way to attract the attention of other people. On the one hand, this behavior can also be explained from a scientific point of view: over time, they got used to each other, and the animal can notice such changes in the human body that we cannot consider. Okay, let's say, here, too, everything can be explained solely by science. What about the rest of the cases?

Ignored warning
A middle-aged man lived an ordinary life, worked in an explosives factory. On every shift he was accompanied by a dog, a family favorite - he accompanied him to the checkpoint, and returned home. But one day the dog got up halfway and did not want to go further. The man persuaded the pet, but this did not give any effect - the dog seemed to dissuade him from continuing on his way, offering to return home. Of course, no one listened to him, and the man and the dog went in different directions: one went to the checkpoint, the other returned to the house.
Before the start of the shift, his wife managed to call the man: she asked if everything was in order on the way, and said that the dog was behaving inappropriately, rushing at the door, whining and growling, barking trying to escape into the street. The husband reassured the woman: they say, he will return home in the evening and will certainly show the dog to the veterinarian. He did not return - an industrial accident claimed several lives, including him.
Wait timer
Returning home, more than once I observed how pets met me, and different ones - depending on where I was going from. If from fishing or from the store - the cats run out first, in all other cases the dog is ahead of them (absolutely not a mercantile creature, unlike some!). Moreover, this does not depend on a specific animal: time passes, some animals run away to the rainbow, others come to their place, but the basic habits are the same.
But I have never seen cats react in a special way to a phone call. A lazy glance at the phone as a source of noise is yes, but I have never seen this run up to the phone when my husband calls, and I think most cat owners, too. And in Berkeley, California, in one of the families, the cat reacts to the owner's call, and before the household picks up the phone and finds out who is in touch. In relation to other subscribers, this has not been noticed - their calls are ignored, but the cat singles out the owner from all the others, no matter where he calls from. Built-in “filter”?
A similar case was told by contemporaries of Alexandre Dumas: in his younger years, when he worked for the Duke of Orleans, the writer had a cat that accompanied him exactly halfway, and met him in the same way - in the same place where they parted. The writer's mother said that the animal left the house half an hour before Dumas came home - regardless of whether he was late at work, came on time, or managed to leave early. Approximately the same situation was with our contemporary Pamela Smart (Britain) - her terrier started waiting for the mistress forty minutes before the girl appeared at home. He sat down exactly opposite the door: it did not depend on whether she was returning home on foot, or by car. For the sake of laughter, Pamela somehow climbed home through the window and the first thing she saw was a terrier, which, according to the family, had been sitting like that for 40 minutes.
but on the other hand
I have heard many times the belief that if a cat or dog suddenly dies in a house, then they “take” the fate of the owner, avert death from him. However, this also applies to less global things: for example, if a person is doing well, he lives in harmony with the world and himself, then this also applies to his environment - animals as well. And vice versa: depression, apathy and minor but annoying illnesses, which also in fact become a manifestation of an internal state, signal - change, find a problem and solve it - and then everything will be fine. But we often ignore these signals - and then they are projected onto pets, which seem to give us a spare time to correct the situation for the better.
It is believed that the human biofield carries absolutely all information about him. Interacting with the biofields of those around us, we involuntarily share with them both negative emotions and bad thoughts, so that they become practically public knowledge. This is especially evident in the family circle, and at risk are the most susceptible, and therefore defenseless and gullible - children and pets. They often have the “punishment” that we ourselves must bear.
There is a theory according to which the misfortune that happened to the pet is a kind of signal, hinting that the owner of the animal is not doing well and smoothly. It is believed that even the very nature of the animal's illness suggests where to look for the cause of all the troubles, and if health troubles repeat with enviable regularity, or even chronic, then this means only one thing - a person does not listen to these prompts, and repeats again the same error. A vicious circle can lead to an irreparable outcome. So, if an animal constantly receives injuries to its hind legs, then this indicates the excessive conservatism of its owner and a complete unwillingness to move forward, recognizing past mistakes and taking into account experience. If a dog or cat has problems with its front paws, then here we can talk about the frequent ignoring of the chances that life provides,timidity and inability to make a volitional decision. Diseases of the eyes and ears persecute pets living in an unfriendly atmosphere built on lies and envy.
The realization that the animal can, as they say, get sick out of the blue due to the fact that the owner behaves incorrectly, for an adequate person will be a very unpleasant sensation. Still, an innocent creature suffers from human errors, which it is in no way able to influence. And how to continue to live with this awareness? It is unlikely that the pangs of conscience are able to correct or change something. The best solution is to change your behavior in the right direction so that this does not happen in the future. Again, this is not the case for everyone: apparently, it depends on the spiritual closeness of the animal and his person, but if this does happen, then you should sincerely thank the shaggy friend for his help. Most likely, the higher powers conceived this way: it is not pets that depend on people, but people need their unobtrusive, but very timely help.
