What type of Physics could explain ; "Jim the Wonder Dog"?

Question

"Jim the Wonder Dog" existed in the US during the depression. He seemed to be a normal setter untill he started responding to questions in any language, spoken or written, including questions about color, which dogs are not supposed to be able to see. In the beginning, people were suspicious that his owner was somehow able to send secret commands to the dog. But then the dog was taken before a group of scientists and scholars, and numerous questions were asked, and written, even in ancient languages, and about people, places, and events in other Places and Times. This was filmed, but later when aproached by a major film company, the owner of the dog would not agree to profit with anyone . He said that it must be a god given gift and that it should not be abused for money. There are Millions of results on Google and Yahoo combined about "Jim the Wonder Dog", but alas Wikipedia , despite movie and book know nothing. Explain amazing powers if any know anything ???

One person mentioned body language, but many tests were performed about things that had not happened, such as who would win games, races, presidency, by writing the potential answers down, and the dog would put his paw on the answer; he knew the future answer 100% of the time. At one time in another occasion a person in a croud called out i a foreign language a question. No one knew what was asked but the dog went over to a person and pointed at him. The tourist said he had asked the dog if anyone present had a bible, well the person the dog had pointed out was a minister and pulled out a bible from inside a pocket. But your consideration of dogs being able to read peoples body language is perhaps close in some circumstances, I know they have more sensitive noses and eyes and ears than us...

Answer 1

Same thing happened with a horse.
There was this horse that could do arithmetic operations perfectly; he would stomp the number of times to indicate the answer..

And you know how the horse did it?

He didn't.
Instead, he took cues from the body language of the humans around him. He just kept on stomping until he reached the right answer; he could tell when he got it right by the body language of the humans around him.

Animals are pretty good at that sort of thing. They don't really understand math or language or anything else of that sort, but they do pick up on how we're feeling based on the way we move, smell, etc.

You can have any number of scholars poke at an animal; that alone doesn't constitute a scientific test of said animal's abilities. You have to do the same thing you do with everything else; isolate and control for variables, and test, test, test. Merely having someone with a degree be impressed constitutes proof of nothing.

Answer 2

Jim had a glimpse into the instant destiny and it became purely whilst asked to achieve this or envisioned to achieve this. He keyed off of an expectancies which became given observed via a silent room waiting for him to end the activity. incredibly everyone interior the room or around will possibly no longer comprehend precisely what they envisioned from Jim yet those asking did and that's what he keyed of off (incredibly everyone else became no longer asking him to something. My Lab is eighteen months now and he has achieved some incredible stuff because of the fact I certainly have asked him. ie: complicated training for which he would not comprehend what all i became asking him to do yet in no way the less carried it out precisely like I advised him. i think of he knew that the outcomes may be relaxing for him and others. It’s concepts-blowing once you spot it ensue and particularly nerve-racking to comprehend we don’t comprehend all of nature’s secrets and techniques. I comprehend why some refuse to have self assurance in Jim yet i comprehend that in the time of his demonstrations on the time many have been left with an analogous feeling I had with Jake.

Answer 3

You know something? I believe it; although I have never seen it. Animals are very intelligent, we all know that. I have heard of some strange things that animals do, such as; some dogs seem to know before a person has a seizure...some know when a person has cancer....etc. ( I am just an animal lover)!!!

Answer 4

there's a dog now that can do it. name escapes me.

imho, some dogs are just better at differentiating the different words used as commands. for example, "sit" and "sat" could sound identical to some dogs (and people for that matter) but not others.

Answer 5

Anything to know is a type of science.
