Psychic Animals: A Fascinating Investigation of Paranormal Behavior

The most amazing story was about a dog named Hector who lived with his master aboard the Dutch freighter S.S. Simaloer. When the Simaloer was in port at Vancouver Hector debarked to take a stroll through town as was his custom. Coming back much later than usual he found the ship gone; it had left for Japan. Four ships at the Vancouver port reported that they had seen a terrier come on their ship, sniff around, and then leave. Hector was later found as a stowaway on the S.S. Hanley. Nineteen days later, as the Hanley entered the port of Tokyo, Hector became very excited. As the Hanley was unloading its cargo a sampan from the Simaloer was sailing by, and Hector jumped into the water, swam to the sampan, and was hauled into the arms of his master. Of the four ships Hector entered in Vancouver, he picked the right ship going to Japan and traveled 5,000 miles to find his master.This book is full of such incredible stories of the bond between animals and their human companions.
