Dogs have also been documented to sense when their owner’s body is ailing …
My late wife was epileptic, her little Pomeranian knew when a seizure was coming on before she did. If I was home he’d run and get me, if I wasn’t he’s meet me at the door and take me to her.
He also knew when she was near death. He had always slept snuggled up to her, even when she had to move to a hospital bed at home. That night he woke up, looked at her and ran to our bedroom, hiding under the bed. She died of cancer several hours later. He stayed under the bed for a couple weeks.
That must of been a difficult story to share. I appreciate you doing so.
I wonder if dogs can sometimes see angels that people cannot. When an angel appears on earth, it’s not as a cute harmless little winged infant, but as a mighty and fearsome being, glowing with fiery energy. A dog might realize this is something definitely bite proof, and cower, even if the angel intends no actual danger to it. It would have been the angel that came to escort your wife’s soul to eternity.
