Dogs don’t just bark at thin air
Does your dog often bark or growl at nothing? Yes. But is it spooky? Also yes. When a dog barks at thin air, what they’re actually doing is barking at a ghost. You’re welcome.
3. Dogs know when arguments are about to happen
When a couple are walking side by side and a dog crosses in between them, it’s a (surefire) sign that a row is on the way – or that your marriage is in danger. If you’re engaged, it’s not much better – a sign that your wedding will be cancelled. Again, sorry.
4. Walked under a ladder? Find a dog

If you spot an ambulance however, hold your breath till you find a black or brown dog. Good luck with that, and don’t try it at home or you’ll need one! If you see a Dalmatian, you can breathe easily, they’re good luck. Ditto greyhounds with white spots on their foreheads.
5. Dogs can root out the bad guys
Top of our list of superstitions about dogs (that could actually be true) is this: if your dog appears angry or defensive around someone for no apparent reason, stay clear of them and their untrusted ways. Some people believe this is a sign that the person is not to be trusted.
