Dog's Intuition?!

At around 2:00 am last night Chuki ran into our room doing this low bark. It's the bark he does when we pretend to be dogs and he runs from room to room trying to find the other dogs. I like to think of it as his alerting bark. It's not an aggressive bark, it's a 'something isn't right' bark. He was running from the window in our bedroom to the window in the 'spare bedroom' doing the bark. Both windows face the same intersection. At first Ryan and I were alarmed, I thought someone was in the apartment or there was something climbing the outside of the building superman style. But we checked and everything was fine in the apartment. We looked out the window and there was a cab (we think it was a cab) stopped in the street. There were 3 guys that we're apparently in the cab out in the street kind of racing around frantically. And a couple of minutes later an ambulance pulled up. The paramedic got a guy out from the back seat of the cab on a stretcher. Put him in the ambulance and, what we can only imagine, worked on him in the ambulance. All the while, the friends, or at least we think they were his friends?!, pacing around in the street.

At one point the lights went on in another apartment with a crazy black lab and they (owner and dog) came out onto their terrace to check everything out. I can only assume that their dog had woken everyone up as well.

About an hour went by (at least that's what it felt like) and finally the ambulance was gone, the cab had left and everything was back to normal. Chuki stayed on alert the whole time. At one point a guard from one of the buildings nearby came out to look at what was going on and Chuki did the same low bark thing.

It is just really crazy to me that even before the ambulance was there Chuki was up and alerting us. How do they know that? And what did he know? Did he just think why is this car stopped in the middle of the street and why are these people walking around it? Had another dog barked in the same way and he heard it? Or could he sense their fear from all the way up here? Who knows! All that I do know is that he was very concerned. Hopefully because he was up for a good 2 hours during the middle of the night, he'll sleep extra long this morning!

I've heard of women's intuition, but dog's intuition? So crazy!!
