This is a very interesting question indeed, one that I have given extensive thoughts for some years now. As a scientist I am not meant to believe in things that cannot be observed directly or indirectly. But as a scientist also I am trained never to doubt the existence or possibility of something just because it cannot be observed. I believe that with advancement in scientific innovation many of the things that we cannot yet 'see' shall become visible. A case in point is the existence of microorganisms which before the 17th century discovery of microscope by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek would have been a ridiculous concept for most people to believe. But now, we do not only 'see' erstwhile invisible microorganisms we can also clearly see subcellular dimensions even up to atomic resolution using spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. In the case of dogs, they do not see the full visible color spectrum as do humans. That is perhaps an indication that their sight overlaps with areas of the electromagnetic spectrum that human eyes cannot see. Let me quickly establish this: humans' retina (and ocular system) generally can only see photons whose amplitude and wavelength coincide with the tiny visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum while other parts ranging from the small-wavelength gamma rays to the large wavelength radiowaves can not be detected by the human eye. If then an entity (matter/wave) exists outside of the visible part of the spectrum, then human eye can not perceive it. This however does not mean that entity does not exist. Using the same example, the geometric dimension of unicellular organisms falls outside of the visible spectrum, so we don't see them unless we use aids (microscopes) to magnify them to the point that they can be seen. This also means that it is possible (not impossible) that other organisms (e.g. dog) can see outside of our own visible spectrum making the possibility that they see what to us is invisible, tenable. I firmly believe that at the very zenith of scientific development humans will be able to invent means of seen greater parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and then we might just be able to concretely see the existence of entities that religion and philosophy have labeled spirits.

IamAnderson: It shows you are not exposed or you are an atheist.. the world we live in is more of spiritual than physical. The watchmen and hunters of those days go hunting with herds of dogs for a reason which is security (from snakes, wild animals and enigmas). Open your mind to your surroundings and you'd learn a lot |

Reminds me of an event which took place in a village close to my town years back. This dog was busy battling with a six-inch nail which was almost covered by the bark of an old tree. The tree was close to the marketplace. This dog was busy removing the nail , barking same time , the whole of its mouth was filled with blood yet, it wouldn't give up. People gathered around to see what the dog was up to. Barely 0ne hour after, the dog removed this long nail which had been embedded in the tree. Suddenly, a madman who had hit the market for over 20 years ran out of hiding in same market, asking people to help him out , that he was looking so dirty, asking what must have happened to him. He was mentioning everybody he knew back then before he ran mad, including his siblings, he was able to still identify some pepple around ny their names. He ran to his house and people took to their heels. He said he's normal that people shouldn't run away. In short, he became completely well. His tangled, long hair was cut off, he was bathed by a group of herbalists. The man today is married with good-looking children. Hes still alive, doing furniture work in that town. He had built a house and his children are all graduates. We learnt someone must have made him mad and nailed the charm to the tree and vowed that , until thw nail was removed, he would never regain his sense. Dogs see more than our physical eyes. 10 Likes |

dogs don't see spirits, they are very sensitive to sound or smell. none of you have told us about a dog that told you otherwise, none of you have washed your eyes with dog urine to see spirits like you are claiming people did. I've still not seen any reasonable proof other than "the dogs were barking", dogs bark for a lot of reasons and saying your dog was barking means it was seeing spirit is delusional. i wonder when Nigerians will understand that because an old person says something it doesn't mean it's correct or factual. 2 Likes 1 Share |

pmoye: I like you. A true scientist should never say "never". But there is another important applicable scientific precept: Occam's Razor. No need to look for an extraordinary explanation for something if a satisfactory simpler explanation exists. Unfortunately for the African in us, , there is a simpler explanation this time. And to sort of echo you (as well as show that I do believe in extraordinary ideas): in time, we WILL indeed see more than we do now. I believe in the existence of extra dimensions (although not in the normal spirituo-metaphysical sense!). |

I don't know about dogs being able to see spirits. But I know that dogs are able to read the kind of person you are by just looking at your face. I remember visiting an old friend in their family home sometime ago. Immediately we entered the compound, my dog started barking and threatening my friend's younger brother. Out of over nine people that were in that compound, the dog only focused on him. Even when he decided to leave the compound, the dog still followed him, barking. It was later I was told that a house in the neighborhood was attacked by armed robbers few days ago. I decided in my mind that this boy knows something about that robbery judging by the way the dog was 'treating' him. To cut the story short, few weeks later the boy was arrested along side other boys as the people who carried out that robbery. He and his gang admitted to have committed the crime! 1 Like 1 Share |

It's very real guys! There was one time in the midnight, i went outside to ease myself as i opened the door, I heard a dog snarling towards me! guys the dog was practically invisible. The dog began moving speedily towards my direction i could feel it but i didn't see any dog... I took off immediately... Another scene was when i went out to ease my self around 1AM, i heard dog of the next house barking aggresively. It became intense, so i was suspecting maybe the dog has seen thieves. I decided to take a peek, guys i saw an image-like object as if they were pointing a bright torch on a wall. I looked more carefully the image started to levitate and it began moving towards one direction. I became so frightened, i had to stealthily move to my room |

I’m not quite definite on the spirituality or otherwise of dogs. But one thing I know is that dogs have better auditory (hearing) capacity than humans. Human hearing range is between 20Hz to 20kHz, while dogs can do lowers ranges to over 40kHz...Quite rusty with the figures now, though. So, it could have been that the dog heard sound beyond human perception. Daum: |

I pity this generation they way things are going. It would get to a time when people would say, there's nothing like death. That it doesn't exist. They've been saying ghost doesn't exist before. I remember when my friend was going to the farm one day and he saw a man whose legs were exactly like goat's and his waist upward looked like a normal human being. It was around 1pm. He greeted him but this man didnt respond, he greeted again but still kept quiet. He suddenly entered a thick forest until my friend didnt see him again. He ran back home panting. We were in ss3 that time. 2 Likes |

Dogs can sense evil spirits, not good spirits... Like they cannot sense an angel, but a witch or marine spirit... Yes. Reasons I do not like dogs, for the noise this brings mostly at nights when one is sleeping. |

fairfora:now let's analyse this story I'm very sure you didn't witness this another thing, it was probably a mongrel slncw it happened in a village several years ago which kind of dog can pull out a six inch nail out of a tree that is impossible even to the strongest dogs lmaoo not to talk of a village dog. no dog can pull out a 6 inch nail from a tree no matter how it struggles, saying it was bleeding still doesn't make the story believable 2 Likes |
