Dogs and other animals see, hear or sense things that are quite outside the range of human capabilities, so the notion that they could "see" or otherwise sense angelic or demonic presences or energies that humans can not readily perceive is to me, quite believable, and indeed, quite "natural."
If there were such a thing as ghost, then dogs would see them.... But there aren’t such things, so they don’t see them.
Cats do. I know of a family that had “guests” that would show up and disappear every now and then for a couple of years. When the apparition entered, the cat would alert the people by trying to chase it.
My in-laws have two dogs that are never allowed in the main house. They stay in the mud room, the room you go into before you enter the rest of the house. It’s enclosed and heated. It’s where you take off your boots if it has been raining.
My father in-law was very sick and was dying. The three daughters were there taking care of him and watching in shifts. It was my wife’s shift while everyone else got some sleep when daddy began describing things. She texted me that he was hallucinating, but when she told me what he was saying I zeroed in. A beautiful River. And a tree. But the tree was on both sides of the river. I told her to wake everyone and to get their Bibles. That’s a description from Revelation. As they gathered everything he said was a depiction of heaven.
Then my wife said a sweet perfume filled the air and her daddy said,” He’s here. Right over there.” He was gazing to a corner of the room.
The dogs came running in. Remember, they never enter the house. They sat staring at that corner wagging their tails.
In a few minutes daddy was gone.
They talk about that night as the night Jesus came and brought daddy home.
This article belongs to the Department of Redundancy Department. The same sentence was repeated several times and the article itself was poorly constructed. I guess that’s Reader’s Digest for you.
It’s why most dogs won’t really get serious about attacking a cat - they can see visions of their own ghost leaving them...
And cats too.
People got to lay off that bong water.
