Dogs have much more refined senses than humans, and it seems to many owners that their four-legged companions also have a special sense by which they feel many things that we humans are not even remotely aware of.
Some of the things that dogs can feel with their intuition are familiar to everyone, and some may surprise you:
Mood – Dogs are more than able to sense human mood. If the owner is under stress, his dog will also be or will become visibly more intrusive and will want to spend more time with the owner if he is sad. Also, a number of dog trainers reported noticing a difference in training results depending on the current mood of the trainer.
Attention – Dogs always know exactly when the owner’s attention is elsewhere, they are very intelligent and they know when they can make a “naughty” move. The best example of this is stealing your delicious sandwich from the table while you were looking the other way.

Inequality – According to a recent study, where researchers paired two dogs and gave them an identical order and rewarded one dog with a treat and not the other, the result was that the dog that did not receive the treat later ignored the researcher. The dog, which was not rewarded, very quickly stopped executing the given command, while the other continued to pay attention to the researcher. Precisely because of this dog trait, owners of more pets are advised to always feed all their pets at the same time so that none of them would feel neglected and less valuable.
Disease – There are numerous studies that have proven that dogs have the ability to detect some degrees of cancer in humans, through blood samples. Doctors hope that in the future they will be able to find a way to rely even more on canine sense of smell for even more effective cancer tests.
Lie – According to a Japanese study, dogs have the ability to distrust people who lie. The dog will recognize the liar and the situation when he was deceived and will learn not to trust the person who deceived him.
