How do dogs know when their owners are returning home at unexpected times? How can horses find their way back to the stable over completely unfamiliar terrain? And how can some pets predict that their owners are about to have an epileptic fit?

Filled with captivating stories and thought-provoking analysis, this book is a groundbreaking exploration of animal behavior that profoundly affects the way we think about animals-and ourselves. In this new edition, Rupert Sheldrake builds on his years of extensive studies to include: Insights gleaned from 1,500 new case histories, including a parrot that can respond to his owner's thoughts at a distance New research on animal domestication and animal navigation New studies on animal premonitions of earthquakes and tsunamis New research on human telepathy relating to phone calls With a scientist's mind and an animal lover's compassion, Sheldrake not only provides a fascinating look into animal and human behavior, but also teaches us to question the boundaries of conventional scientific thought.

How do horses find their way back to the stable over completely unfamiliar terrain? And how can some pets predict that their owners are about to have an epileptic fit?

Filled with captivating stories and thought-provoking analysis,Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Homeis a groundbreaking exploration of animal behavior that will profoundly change the way we think about animals, and ourselves. After five years of extensive research involving thousands of people who own and work with animals, Sheldrake conclusively proves what many pet owners already know -- that there is a strong connection between humans and animals that lies beyond present-day scientific understanding. With a scientist's mind and an animal lover's compassion, Sheldrake compellingly demonstrates that we and our pets are social animals linked together by invisible bonds connecting animals to each other, to their owners, and to their homes in powerful ways. Sheldrake's provocative ideas about these social, or morphic, fields explain the uncanny behavior often observed in pets and help provide an explanation for amazing animal behavior in the wild, such as migration and homing. Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Homenot only provides fascinating insight into animal, and human, behavior, but also teaches us to question the boundaries of conventional scientific thought. This remarkable book deserves a place next to the most beloved and valuable books on animals, such asWhen Elephants Weep, Dogs Never Lie About Love, andThe Hidden Life of Dogs.
