Can Shih Tzu see spirits or angels? When your Shih Tzu is visibly barking at nothing, is it barking at a ‘Ghost’? Sometimes, your Shih Tzu stands somewhere in the house and barks at seemingly ‘nothing.’ As a Shih Tzu owner, have you ever wondered if your pet can see something you can’t? Are dogs sensitive?
It’s even more eerie when the Shih Tzu is staring directly at the wall or a specific area while barking, and you can’t see anything at all! Shih Tzu barking at ghosts. Whether your Shih Tzu can sense the supernatural or not is a topic that has been widely researched by scientists.
According to Animal Planet, many dog owners believe that the Sixth Sense is the result of the fact that dogs have many of their senses more acute than humans. For example, Shih Tzu’s hearing and sense of smell are exceptional, and their vision allows them to spot small movements as well.
They can perceive subtle shifts, their sense of smell has a range 1,000 to 10,000 times stronger than that of humans, and they can hear in high frequency. With reference to their supernatural sense, there are many testimonials from family members who claim that dogs can sense when the owner is about to die.
There are also reports of dogs that stayed at the bedside of their owners nearing the end of life or even at their graves after death. Many believe that dogs have a sense of impending death. Do Shih Tzu sense negative energy in the environment? Many believe so, but there is no way to prove it. The truth is, we still can’t know why Shih Tzu barks at what seems to be nothing.
Expert Miller says that there is no way to know if your Shih Tzu can really sense a ‘ghost’ or not, but she believes that ‘when you see a dog standing visibly barking at nothing, there’s a good chance it’s barking at an entity, spirit, or energy that doesn’t belong to that place.’
If your Shih Tzu is barking at the energy or spirit of someone who has passed away, or simply barking at a different smell your neighbor is cooking, we will never know! What we do know is that dogs are truly amazing, and the more we get to know them, the more we love them!!!”
