Is it true that dogs see in black and white?

1 comments

Just for you, we risked being chucked in the pound and with dogged determination we hounded the woofs of the world until they gave us an answer. Here's what they said: 'woof woof woof woof woof woof '.

With a stroke of luck we are not barking mad and can give you a translation.

'Where the average human sees a full rainbow spectrum of colours; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet (ROYGBIV); the average dog perceives these colours differently. They in fact see red, yellow, yellow, yellow, blue, indigo, violet (RYYYBIV). So no it's not true, they do see a selection of colours. Don't ask us what dogs say about 'Richard's Battle In Vain' though as we haven't got a FAQing clue.

Do dogs dream?

1 comments

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.
