Story summary
  • Stanley Coren, a Canadian psychologist, explains that dogs hear high-frequency sounds and sense vibrations, which may explain their behavior before disasters.
  • These abilities provide a basis for why some interpret dogs as predicting events.
  • However, beliefs about predicting events stem from confirmation bias; people remember unusual behaviors and forget ordinary ones.
  • Studies show dogs can detect biochemical changes in humans, such as epilepsy or stress, but supernatural claims lack backing.
