I do like when these experiences happen. They come so suddenly when you least expect them. Even in a simple example such as this experience, it is amazing to see how the mind works and what it is capable of.
Perhaps the little dog wanted company and was projecting his image to you?
My English Pointer did this to me once. Sorry for my explicit detail, hee hee... but I went to the bathroom and while sitting there the dog followed me in as he always does. Usually he turns himself around to point his tail end at me so I can scratch him--oh joy!
But this time he just walked straight in, looked me in the eyes, then turned his head downward. In those few seconds I got a clear vision in my mind of his water dish on the kitchen floor, completely empty. In the vision was the inherent knowing that his bowl had been dry and he was very thirsty.
I finished and walked to the kitchen as he followed me and sure enough, his water bowl was dry and just exactly as in my vision. So I filled it and he drank, and drank, and drank. Poor guy. Normally I don't forget his needs but he sure did find a way to give me the message!
I believe animals are good at this. We just may not always receive their messages.
Love, Vicky
