Pet psychic finds blown away Chihuahua?

My favorite fake psychic will continue to be Shawn Spencer. I think he worked a case where a cat’s owner died.

Look “under things”. Man, what an amazing gift.

Who would want a pet psychic? They eat too much, all their tricks are bogus, and they’re too needy; they need even more attention than the neediest dogs. Without lots of attention, they’re just not happy.

I much prefer my pet cat.

What if, just thinking out loud here, the “Psychic” actually found and saw the dog before making the phone call. Perhaps Lorrie drives that way a lot and stopped to look..oh what have we here…??

“fake psychic”, isn’t using the word fake next to psychic a little redundant? 🙂

Hey if you need to go to the trouble of contriving complex theories based on outlandishly mundane principles to explain your world, fine.

It’s far more likely that this person has a true psychic gift for talking to pets…wait a minute, if the pet knew where it was and communicated that info to the psychic, why didn’t it just walk home itself? Dang, there I go, using reason again………

My sister works at a stable, and one of the clients uses a psychic to determine the horse’s training activity. This woman pays out the nose to be told the same thing that the trainers would say.

I suggest a simple experiment. Put the psychic in front of 10 kennels with dogs, and tell her to feed 5 of them, the 5 that don’t have rabies. Let’s see how well she trusts her abilities.

I must admit there are a number of things very strange about this whole story.

At the end of the day I’m just glad the dogs ok.

I’m sorry. I’m a dog owner and lover but this is just too funny for me.

“They tried to catch her too but nobody could. The wind had her and she was just going on and her collar was found across the street,” said Dorothy Utley. “She flew and she went over three lanes into the woods.”

When being interviewed by Penn and Teller, James Randi once pointed out that pet psychics reveal their fraudulent nature right off the bat when they ask the owner what he pet’s name is. “Why don’t you ask the animal?” Randi said, “If there’s any one word that the animal would recognize, it’s its name.”

The Science Pundit,

I’m getting an “s” or “r” or “t” or an “a” or an “n” or a “p”.
Maybe Spike, or Sport, or Spot, or maybe there’s an S in his life, maybe one of his parents was an S, or maybe one of the owners, or maybe his DOG name starts with an S, and it’s different from the name humans gave him, maybe the p is because he has to pee, or he has peed recently…….

Here’s my best guess on what happened – most of this entire story was made up. The dog was never blown away. Maybe it ran, maybe it was blown off something, maybe nothing happened at all. The news media wouldn’t think of checking on a story like this. It would spoil the whole thing.

That one is not worthy of you Orac.
A dopey story from beginning to end.
Not worth your attention….

Pet Mafioso helps find Dog

A pet Mafioso “thought we were looking in the wrong place,” Dorothy Utley, Tinker Bell’s owner, said Monday. “He said, ‘I’d like ya ta go over and look under things and up high and on hills.’ He said she was going to be up high. Very high, unless we put $3000 in unmarked bills under things.”
