Well my mom has a dog and use to she would come up to me and sit in my lap and be loving but about 6 days ago when I go over there so don't have anything to do with me she don't even come to me anymore that's wired. My mom has had her for about 2 yrs. And this is the first time she has done this she acts like she is afraid of me so I don't no if dogs can sense if a person is sick or has a health problem or not. I heard they can.

Answer

Hi Elizabeth,

They can sense in a way if a person is not feeling wll just by the actions of the person, however it usually won't cause them not to have anything to do with a person if they are still treated the same as before. If something happened the last time you were around where she got hurt, like she slipped on the floor when you were nearby then she may be associating that pain with you. Another reason is she may not feel well either.
