My parents had a dog who always seemed to know two to three hours in advance if a thunderstorm was coming. Only then slip into the house when someone opened the door, sometimes causing unintended damage while looking for a place to hide. He was quite a large “mutt” (about 80 pounds) and it wasn’t easy for my parents to “shift” him if he didn’t want to be shifted. (And no, they weren’t cruel to leave him outside. He had a well-constructed, insulated doghouse built into the corner of their heated garage so he didn’t suffer in the winter weather.)
