This is spot on and so many people don’t get it, having experience with numerous breeds it’s really interesting how different breeds are more or less in tune with your body language, for instance my kelpie and border collie x react to every move I make often before I’ve made it but our two chis and two maltese x shihtzus take a lot less notice and the bearded collie is somewhere in the middle.

 

It also amazes me how a very closely bonded dog picks up on illnesses, part way through last year my kelpie started staring at me making really weird high pitched whistling noises at random times, if I fell asleep outside of normal bed time hours she would paw at me and cry, couldn’t work out why it all started then months later I found out I had breast cancer, since having two surgeries (haven’t started the rest of my treatment yet) most of her odd behaviour has settled down, it appears she knew I had cancer long before it was detected.
