True or False: Dogs dream about their humans.
Answer: True
When your dog curls up, falls asleep and drifts into dreamland, you may be surprised to learn what scenes fill their dreams. All that paw twitching, tail wagging, whining and even barking indicates that your pooch is deep in a dream. But are they chasing rabbits? Dashing after squirrels? Fleeing from an enemy?
Researchers have found that dog brains are much like human brains and experience similar sleep cycles. Researchers have also concluded that animals—dogs included—have complex dreams where they remember and process the day’s events and activities while they’re asleep. All those paw, lip and tail movements suggest that dogs may be reliving things they’ve experienced. Since dogs are generally extremely attached to their humans, it’s likely that your dog is dreaming about your face, your smell and playing with you!
