Do dogs dream?


Don't think we're barking mad but dogs and humans are apparently a woofing 95% identical, both physically and genetically. We all know people who resemble their hounds and the similarity doesn't end there. Like us, dogs have the capacity to remember and store memories and with this, comes the need to purge and reorganise these in their sleep. This results in the creation of dreams. Some experts believe that our canine pals are capable of processing in the region of 500 words. To our knowledge, scientists are yet to discover the content of doggy dreams, but they're likely to include bounding after Bugs Bunny and chomping a Bonio or two. Muzzled up, this is a secret that even the doggies aren't yapping about.

I personally think this is a good question to be asked. I think dogs do dream, as does a human. I've often wondered what my dog is dreaming about as she sleeps because she kind of twitches, moves her paws slightly and her breathing gets faster. It would be amazing if we could actually see what they were dreaming about though. I hope scientists do discover this as it would be great.
