I wouldbeleive it if an owner was thousands of miles away and threw
something, and the dog automatically started to fetch at that very
moment, every time. No, I know that a study I did read about showed
that most of this dog 'psychic' behavior was them hearing the sound of
their owners vehicles at a far greater distance than previously thought
capable. A similar study with african elephants, which seemed to
mysteriously communicate at far greater distances than their ears were
capable of hearing ultimately found that elephants have a heretofore
unknown range of communication in the extreme low frequency range of
sound, which they sense through their feet. ELF sound travels around
obstacles far easier than sound in normal hearing ranges. This hearing
range, known as the infrasonic range, is also the reason why elephants
can find areas where water is flowing near the surface of the ground,
and can sense thunderstorms at very far ranges.
