Exactly. Many dogs know as many as six-eight hours prior. Many can also tell if meds are "off" - this can be due to change in activity level, lack of sleep and many other factors.
There is a dog I keep hearing about down here in TV that can smell melanoma and has a 100% hit rate. Even on people that MD's determine do not need a biopsy...the dog (from what I hear) has not been wrong yet.
While I think that people with pets should take heed to a dogs "warnings" (such as laying on top of you and not wanting to move). At least get odd behaviors checked out. The point I was trying to make is "Dont bring your yappy misbehaved dog into stores and restaurants".
