Dogs dream about their owners

We dream about them so it’s only fitting they dream about us too. 

Experts in evolutionary psychology claim man’s best friend does in fact dream about us.

Dr Deirdre Barrett, a Clinical and Evolutionary Psychologist from Harvard Medical School says dogs are similar to humans because they dream about the same things they’re interested in day by day.

But owners aren’t the only things dogs dream about! Doggy dreams also depend on the size and breed of the dog. Hunting breeds like Pointers will often dream about hunting or chasing other animals.

Dogs spend 50% of their life sleeping so it’s no wonder we’d pop up in a few of their dreams.

As for cats? Well, there’s no need to waste precious time dreaming about human slaves.

Sweet dreams dog lovers.
