Experts Say Dogs Dream About Their Humans, People Can’t Stop Crying

ADVERTISEMENT

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.
