Traveling has long been a subconscious fear for people.

And since dogs were always close to people, their behavior could predict a number of events on the road:

• if a dog licks its feet before a trip, it should be postponed if possible, it will be unsuccessful;
• a dry bone or branch brought into the house by an animal before a trip promises the death of the owner. It is better to stay at home;
• an animal rolling in front of the threshold promises distant guests or relatives;
• if you accidentally hit a dog, you should be wary of a more serious accident in the near future;
• a friend standing and rocking on his paws predicts a successful and long trip, probably to the sea.

Experts believe that most of the signs mentioned are simple superstitions, which can be treated differently. But there are also a number of significant comments, for example, about a hit animal.

Owners should definitely be more careful on the roads in the near future.

Weather signs from dogs

Long-term observations of past generations allow us to interpret some weather changes based on the behavior of our pets:

• if the dog sleeps more than usual and eats little, bad weather will soon come, for example, a flood or heavy rains;
• a pet jumping in the snow promises severe frosts;
• an animal curling up into a ball during sleep indicates the coming cold weather;
• and if in a dream the animal stretches out to its full length, you should expect favorable changes and warm summer days;
• a dog chewing grass in a summer cottage foretells rainy weather;
• if the animal clings to its owner for no apparent reason, a deterioration in weather conditions is expected.

If a person doubts the veracity of superstitions, he should observe the behavior of his pet himself.

Signs about dog howling

The howling of dogs has always instinctively frightened people. In particular, because the howling of dogs was associated with the howling of wolves, which are considered their distant ancestors.

Most of the signs speak of imminent misfortune. But there are other interpretations:

• a dog howling with its head raised promises a fire;
• howling dogs in a village at night promise a fire in the entire village;
• if you look at the direction of the dog's muzzle while it howls, you can determine the direction from which the bad weather will come.

It is important to understand that real facts are hidden behind the signs of a fire. The fact is that dogs have a keen sense of smell.

Therefore, they can smell smoke before humans and howl to warn owners that it is time to escape from a burning building.

For the same reason, the howling of dogs often foretells death.

Stray Dog

Usually, when animals appear in the house, people talk about a good atmosphere.

It is worth observing how the animal will influence events. Based on the already created signs.

For example, if the animal is well-groomed and beautiful and is simply looking for a new home, you should expect to receive funds and feed the dog at least.

If a dog has a white mark, it is a sign of great luck. A mangy and sick animal speaks of failures and illnesses of the residents.

As you can see, the behavior of not only domestic but also yard dogs will help to determine upcoming events and mentally prepare for a black streak. Which will naturally be followed by a white one.
