Latest research claims that when dogs sleep, they are dreaming about their humans. This was published in People magazine’s interview with an expert from Harvard University. This news hit us over a week ago, but dog owners can’t seem to get over it. Dogs are already famous for being ‘man’s best friend’, but now we know that their loyalty and unconditional love extend to their dream zone too…
”Since dogs are generally extremely attached to their human owners, it’s likely your dog is dreaming of your face, your smell and of pleasing or annoying you,” Dr. Deirdre Barrett told People magazine.
This excerpt from the article has had more than 60,000 retweets. It’s like dog owners’ hearts just split open with love and people won’t stop weeping and crying, especially when they see their furballs sleeping. They keep wondering ‘Are you dreaming of me, my sweet little pooch?’…
We can only guess, but the prospect is heart-warming. Let’s admit that it takes the dog loyalty thing to the next level…

I hope I am not insensitive now, but why are these people posting pictures of them crying? That mammals dream (a lot) was known before, and that for a dog the focal points of his or her life (his pack, and thereby, his human family) would be subject of the dreams feels like a confirmation of what dog owners would have guessed. The research is compelling, but it does not make your dog any more loyal than he or she already is. Which is extremely loyal already. Do not get me wrong; a sleeping dog is always a pleasant sighting, and being aware of how much you mean to your furry friend is definitely good. But I simply do not get the crying part...

I share your views and to be honest I can hardly believe that anyone can exactly know what dogs dream about.

I have only had my dog 4 months, and she was a street dog in Kuwait. She has a LOT of nightmares so I think she is dreaming of past trauma most of the time, so I pet her gently and kiss her until she wakes up. She is my beautiful baby.

My dog is forever asleep. I wonder if she dreams about me in heaven, that is if she hasn't already reincarnated into a person

I hope this is true for cats too! I'd love to know if my ferals dream of me scratching their chins and petting them.

Cats probably mostly dream about boxes and how cozy they are. Boxes with running laptops beneath them. :)

I don't care if my dog dreams of me or not, so long as they both have happy ones instead of nightmares.

I hate it, when people post "watch me react"... this is nowhere near authentical this is all played and faked. Nobody will react like "oh wow, wait, got to get my camera first"

I dunno... I give my dog every form of protection a human can, which is a ridiculous amount of security. I give my dog all the treats, scraps, and dietary requirements they could ever dream of (which may be why they're apparently dreaming of me). I give them love, understanding, and teach them without using fear or pain to do so. Wild canids suffer the elements, parasites, hierarchical violence and the suffering keeping one's high rank or surviving at the bottom entails. Many die from horrific illnesses, starvation, dehydration, or injuries sustained in hunts and occasional interactions with other predators. The list goes on... I don't know what you've done to your dog to make you think you don't deserve it, but that's just a bizarre sentiment. Friends have each other's backs after all. Otherwise, they'd be Man's-Best-Servants. Ya?
