Yellow Lab Senses Earthquake, & Runs For Safety Before It Hits



By Chuck Ness


As early as 373 B.C. historians recorded that residents saw various animals from rats, snakes and weasels, were deserting the Greek city of Helice in droves just days before a quake devastated the place. Throughout history accounts of similar animal anticipation of earthquakes have surfaced from places around the World. Catfish moving violently, chickens stop laying eggs and bees leaving their hive in a panic have been reported. 

Countless pet owners claim to have witnessed their cats and dogs acting strangely before the ground shook–barking or whining for no apparent reason. All these and many more instances give rise to the question of whether or not animals have a special sense given to them by God to get out of dangers way.
