With senses far sharper than ours, dogs detect what we can’t—perhaps more than we realize.

      Of course the answer is no, however I thought the article was interesting because it talks about dogs in folklore:

      People have long believed in their dog’s ability to sense spirits. In ancient Mexico, the Aztecs believed that dogs could see ghosts and guide their masters’ souls through the underworld.

      Even Wikipedia has a whole page dedicated to dogs in Mesoamerican folklore and myth.

    No, because ghosts aren’t real.
