EXTREME PERCEPTION AND ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE (BY TEMPLE GRANDIN AND CHATERINE JOHNSON)

The article states that animals with extraordinary sensory can perceive things and predict events with further than human being but it is not a reason to be named as smart specie; however if they develop and perform their skills to decipher intricate problems by a voluntary cognition, they will sketch a real intelligence. Hereby, showing an examples of the first Idea, the writings describes how forensic dogs are 3 times better than x-machines to look for illicit drugs or explosives, but that dogs are not able to discriminate and discern which of them are illegal or why are banned. Another example for the second statement is that people who suffer for seizure can be damage by themselves, for them there is a trained pet called seizure respond dogs which are able to react after the attack have started; notwithstanding, not only can artful dogs go beyond of just response to the Illness, also can they foresee the symptoms by their acute sense of hearing or smelling. It is what Ms. Connie Stanley says about it,”they predict about 80 percent of their seizures, and dogs apparently were trained as seizure alert dogs before they came to her… , but Most seizure alert dogs were trained to respond to seizures not predict seizures.”
