There was a soldier stationed in Viet Nam during the war. He was released from combat early and wanted to surprise his family. The family dog went to the soldier's room and brought some of his possession to the door. This was something the animal did right before his "buddy" would return home, even prior to the young man's enlistment. The dog's behavior was an accurate prediction of his arrival. So much for the soldier's surprising the family....
Animals have been accurate predictors of natural and manmade disasters.
There is a monument to a flock of ducks in Freiberg, Germany, a town near the Black Forest. During World War II, the ducks behaved in a strange manner shortly before bombers approached the village. The monument was erected in appreciation for the birds' "warning."
There was a mother cat, who, before an earthquake struck in California became agitated and moved her kittens. Had she not moved her litter, she and they would have been killed.
Martinique, a Caribbean island, has a volcano, Montagne Pelee which erupted and caused a major catastrophe over a century ago. People noticed the strange behavior of the animals, including snakes, shortly before the disaster.
In the 1970s, the Chinese noticed that animals behaved strangely before earthquakes occurred. Throughout January, 1995, people noticed animals acting weird. Birds flew into trees. Pigs and other animals exhibited bizarre behavior. On the morning of February 4th, Haicheng was evacuated. A major earthquake struck early that evening.
Many animals have a better sense of hearing, smell, feeling vibrations and other senses than we do, and it is possible the behavior could be due to the acuity of their senses, but until this is proven and it is also proved which physical senses are involved, this is, technically, in the realm of anpsi.
Birds, fish and other animals exhibit the homing instinct by returning to their home, be it Capistrano swallows or salmons spawning.
Bobbie was a collie who was separated from his family while on vacation in Indiana. Charles Alexander wrote a book about him, "Bobbie: A Great Collie of Oregon," in 1926. The dog's trek was well documented. People remembered feeding him and offering him shelter. It took six months for Bobbie to travel 3,000 miles to his Silverton Oregon home.
Psi trailing is when an animal finds its family after they have moved into a new home.
