A Sixth Sense

As I continue to observe Max I have noticed that he has what I would call a "sixth sense". Max has a great sense of smell, which I'm sure every dog does but it always amazes me how he can sniff out the food I try to hide from him. His hearing is very heightened, he can hear a car pulling into the drive way before it even has the first two tires on the pavement, it mesmerizes me because most of my family is hard of hearing lol. There is one sense that doesn't amaze me, it kind of scares me actually; Max's eyesight. I have always been told that babies and animals can see things that a regular human being cant, such as spirits and ghosts. I don't know if you guys believe in that stuff but I sure do. One night I was laying in bed with Max as always, he stood up at the foot of my bed as if ready to attack and stared without blinking at the darkest corner of my room. I was pretty frightened but I had to get some sleep so I convinced myself it was nothing and went to bed. I thought everything was back to normal until it happened again on two separate occasions; I always had doubts about my mother's superstitions, but now I do believe that dogs have a sixth sense.
