Can animals see things beyond human perception?

It is already well known that many animals have heightened senses, some of which are superior to human senses. Sometimes animals behave in bizarre ways, such as when dogs randomly bark at something we don’t see or at night for seemingly no reason. What if some animals can see things on a spiritual realm? Maybe demons or ghosts or angels? What if there is some universal law that is known to animals because of their heightened perceptions that humans are unaware of? When we observe animals in the wild, could it be that they know they are being observed and thus change their behavior in ways that make humans unaware of some spiritual dynamic? There is one universal law that we know animals possess and which they have possessed since the beginning and that is the insatiable need to pass on their genes to the next generation. Many males compete with each other for a female’s favor and there is always an unrelenting need to pass on their genes to their offspring. Could it be that an animals spirit lives on through its offspring and thus enable these animals to live on in an afterlife through their spirit? Just something I’ve been thinking about and I would like to know others’ opinions.
