Dogs that Know when Their Owners are Coming Home and Other Unexplained Powers of Animals

Dr Rupert Sheldrake is the worlds leading expert in research into the phenomenon of the psychic abilities of domestic animals. In September 1996 he presented the latest results of his studies to a conferance at Cambridge University. This triggered an explosion of media interest across the world. Dr Sheldrake has been beseiged by TV companies, newspapers and magazines clamouring to know more. Long series of experiments have proved that dogs have a telepathic or psychic link, or a `sixth sense', with their owners. Dr Sheldrake's surveys reveal that the mojority of dog owners believe their pet is sometime telepathic with them and 46% say that the dog knows when a member of the family is coming home. The book also covers experiments showing psychic powers of cats, ponies, monkeys, pigeons and parrots and gives guidelines for readers to do their own research with their pets. Dr Sheldrake examines the unexplained powers of wild animals and looks at human psychic phenomena suggesting that we cane stop seeing these powers as `paranormal' and see them as normal, part of our biological heritage which have been lost because of language, civilization and rationalism.
