Psychic Dogs Wanted

Is your dog psychic? OpenSourceScience wants to know.
OpenSource Science is a web-based collaborative project for facilitating the discussion and replication of controversial scientific experiments.

In this case, a controversial scientific experiment was originally performed by Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, a biologist, and former Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge University. Dr. Sheldrake completed a number of survey studies to find out how many pet owners had observed seemingly psychic abilities in their pets. Sheldrake found that 46% of dog owners had noticed psychic ability in pet owners surveyed in England and 45% in California. The psychic ability surveyed was the dog's ability to anticipate it's owners return home.

To read more about this study and studies that followed, go to OpenSourceScience. And if you think your dog is psychic, you may want to contact OpenSourceScience to participate in their experiment.

Does your dog seem to know when you’re coming home, even at odd hours? If so, your dog might be a great candidate for our experiment. If you and your dog would like become participants in one of our experiments please send us an email at:
