Jim the Wonder Dog

Jim the Wonder Dog (1925–1937) was a Llewellin Setter[note 1][1] 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.

Dr. A. J. Durant, director of the School of Veterinary Medicine, tested Jim's abilities in a public demonstration.

"[3] Jim seemed to have the ability to guess the sex of an unborn baby and answer to orders in many languages even though his owner, Sam Van Arsdale, only spoke English.

Andy Davis, a Columbia sculptor, was commissioned to create the likeness of Jim out of bronze.
