Amber Palmer’s hiking plans in Washington took a wild turn when her usually calm dog, Shona, refused to leave the car—growling and staring into the forest. Trusting Shona’s instincts, Amber skipped the hike, only to learn later that the area is known for mountain lion sightings. After sharing her story online, people chimed in with similar experiences, reminding us how deeply our pets can sense things we can’t. It’s a powerful reminder: sometimes, listening to your dog could be the difference between a close call and a disaster. Has your pet ever warned you about something you couldn’t see? #Pets #Washington #DogInstincts
