What is your doggy dreaming about? Find out now!

As it turns out, the brains of dogs are incredibly similar to those of humans at the structural level. So it is safe to assume that, if we share this kind of brain activity, our pups might share our capacity to dream as well. But what’s all the huffing and puffing?

If your pooch is moving his legs like he’s running, he could be dreaming that he’s digging a hole or chasing the neighborhood cat. If he’s breathing quickly and barking, he could be attacking a scary burglar or maybe just warding off the mailman. There is no real way of knowing. But one thing is for sure—the old saying, “Let sleeping dogs lie” holds true.

Even though your pup’s panicked movements and nervous whines might make your heart ache, you probably shouldn’t wake them unless absolutely necessary. A dog startled out of sleep might have the same trouble differentiating their dream from reality and has the potential to bite.

WOW! It's incredible to know that doggies are able to dream just like humans can! Sure, it makes sense that they don't exactly dream about the same things we do! LOL! Let's hope they're sweet dreams are filled with lots of toys and treats! LOL!
