Is it possible? I think dogs are pretty tuned into their human companions, so some people might think that what passes for telepathy is just a dog picking up on non-verbal cues. On the other hand…

I have a friend who swore she could get her dog to do many different tricks just by giving Bowzer the image in her mind of him doing the trick. There are some that say that dogs do understand mental pictures, and I’m inclined to believe it. And this may be true of other animals besides dogs. I have a friend who once got a hummingbird to sit calmly on the brush end of a broom (the bird had gotten into her living room) while she took it carefully to the window and let it fly away. This she did by giving the bird an image of it sitting on the broom brush as she lifted the broom towards it, and then being taken to the window to be let go.

A hummingbird! Not only a wild animal, but an animal that most people never see NOT flying, let along passively perching on the brush end of a broom, an object the bird had probably never seen before.

So you may think I’m gullible, but neither of my friends lie, and besides, I’ve had my own experiences in this area. You could try it yourself sometime, just to test out the theory.
