Your dog is lying next to you, fast asleep - you may notice them go from complete stillness to twitching, wagging their tail, kicking their legs, and more within seconds.
Are they dreaming? ๐ญ
What could they possibly be dreaming about? Let me tell you!
Numerous studies in the past have found that dogs do indeed dream, much like humans, besides, puppies are more likely to dream than adult dogs. Additionally, small dogs dream more frequently but for shorter durations, while larger dogs dream less often but for longer periods each time.

While no one knows for sure what your dog dreams about, researchers believe they may dream about doggy things, like chasing squirrels, chasing rabbits, playing fetch with you ๐ฅ- essentially, the dreams seem to be a psychological replay of events from the day.

3๏ธโฃ Dogs may "dig" at their beds and blankets, trying to find a cooler spot to lie down and regulate their temperature.
4๏ธโฃ Your dog's sleeping position can provide information about their emotions and physical well-being.
