San Francisco-based illustrator Robert Brown amusingly depicts the difference between the way that humans see the world and the way our dogs see it, and it's got nothing to do with color vision. Brown shows how dogs really perceive everyday objects and routines.

For example, what for us, humans, looks like a calming bath, for our four-legged friends is a horrific act of terror and endless torture. And a juicy burger...it's a tiny bit more than just a guilty pleasure.

The one on the right. We go out for an hour and you'd think we'd been gone all day! Then after 5 mins they ignore us. Go figure.

    Dogs aren't scared of the bath itself, it's the running water. Their heightened sense of hearing turns that sound into crazy rolling thunder to them. Try filling the tub first while they aren't in the room then bring them in for their bath.

    One time it was a very hot day and my mom went to work. She left a bucket of cold water for our dog to go in . Our dog made a huge mess. Water was all over the place.

    I think it means to us it's just a burger, to them it's like crack cocaine. They will be hooked forever.

    It means that dogs loves burgers so much that it's like a drug to them. The white powder and straw represents snorting cocaine.

    If your dog is eating its own s**t, doesn't that mean it has a mineral deficiency? Please don't murder me if I'm wrong
