Canines catching quakes?

Can dogs really detect earthquakes before they begin? Naw, but Roy can!!! Roy shown here demonstrating his technique......

Since 373 BC when the ancient Greeks first noted that rats, weasels, snakes, and even centipedes fled the city of Helice days before the earth violently shook, people have believed that animals are able to predict earthquakes. When the Tsunami of 2004 devastated the countries along the Indian Ocean, it took the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, but animals faired remarkably well. The Chinese have long believed dogs and cats are able to predict quakes. In 1975, the city of Haicheng was evacuated days in advance of an earthquake based on the behavior of dogs and cats. An estimated 150,000 lives were saved. Stories like these lead many to believe that animals have some kind of sixth sense.
A recent scientific study, conducted by Doctor's Mal and Practice, authors of many books on dog communication, were amazed to find that our Roy can indeed detect an earthquake, and they believe they have determined how he does it, as well. He is using his remarkable hair sense to detect vibaration. It is well known that Roy has Magnificant flow to his hair!!!!
