Tons of people who spent some time with their friend’s dog recently but did not observe any psychic phenomenon aren’t posting an anecdote to HN right now. This could be as mundane as Littlewood’s law.
Yes, it could be. But I consider Littlewood's Law to cover more-or-less random events.
This was a definite sequence of events: we had settled down, waited for 20 minutes, and then there was a sudden surge of excitement (in the dog); and the way it searched with erect ears, even though standing up, it still couldn't see properly out of the car windows...
