Doggies know...

Not a new story as I've heard it many times, but just a new chapter. Friend's 98 year old mother has been in hospice at a nursery home for a month. Doctors thought, "just a week" but what do they know. This morning she passed away. Back at home, at exactly the same time the family dog started barking frantically, running from the den next to the elderly lady's chair and back to her bedroom, back and forth. Family thought originally someone at the front door, nothing. No sooner than they got the dog settled down, the phone call from the nursing home, the mother had passed away.

Wonder what the doggie saw or sensed?

Interesting, I have heard it happen with close sibling/twins as well, not the barking :) but the weird intuition somethings wrong.
I do believe that dogs can sense death. I read a news story about a nursing home cat that will sit with the person that is soon to pass, all day until they do. I think animals just sense it like they would fear in a person or badness. Its almost like when I take my puppy to the vet. I load her in the car and she shakes like she knows. I take her everywhere and she always looks freaked out when we go to the vet. I don't know how she knows but she does.
The lady next door cat went charging around their house when Fred passed away. They never got on though.x
