Jim the Wonder Dog
Jim the Wonder Dog (1925–1937) was a Llewellin Setter〔'Llewellin Setter' is a name sometimes used to describe a specific strain of working English Setter.()〕 alleged to have a variety of remarkable abilities. He originally came from Louisiana and reportedly could predict the sex of unborn babies as well as the winner of the Kentucky Derby. More skeptical individuals state that his owner, Sam Van Arsdale, gave the dog multiple choice questions and pleaded for the right answer.
== The Life of Jim the Wonder Dog ==
Jim earned his reputation as a 'wonder dog' during the 1930s, puzzling psychologists from both Washington University, St. Louis and University of Missouri in Columbia. Dr. A. J. Durant, director of the School of Veterinary Medicine, tested Jim's abilities in a public demonstration. He concluded that Jim "possessed an occult power that might never come again to a dog in many generations."〔 Jim seemed to have the ability to guess the sex of an unborn baby and answer to orders in many different languages even though his owner, Sam Van Arsdale, only spoke English. Jim the Wonder Dog picked the winner of the Kentucky Derby seven years in a row. He also predicted the Yankee victory in the 1936 World Series. A joint session of the Missouri Legislature was called in order to witness the talents of Jim. He died March 18, 1937.
