    Can dogs see 2d?

    Can dogs see 2-dimensional? (sp?) I have heard they can't. How come they react to their reflection in the mirror? Isn't that two dimensional? Sorry, I've just been wondering that lately.

    I'm not sure either. I think I asked the vet once, but don't remember his answer. I have friends whose dogs sit and stare at themselves in the mirror and even sit in front of the TV like they're watching it. I think they see motion. I'm still wondering if they see in color. I know Cody went nuts with the color red. If I tell Logan to get her green fish and not the yellow, she'll get the green. Hmmmm.

    I'm quite sure they can.
    My dog Snowy saw a poster of a cat at the vet one day and she was barking mad. She must have thaught that was a real cat staring at her

    They see color but it is not vibrant. All of the colors appear pastel.

    i belive i read somewhere that the color green stands out to them the most?..or maybe that was cats? i really dont know...my 2 watch TV, its actually sort or creepy, i was watching the dog show a while back and chloe was chewing on her bone and then stopped, looked up at the T.V , and watched the Bull Terrier being judged lmao she watched it for about 10min..Malakai watches animal cops with me, i think he reacts more to the sounds though, he'll sit right by me and cock his head at all the sounds

    (O.T.. This is my 444th post! lol that a lot i havent even been here a month yet certified major yapper! )

    Sierra once jumped up at the TV watching a pack of coyotes chasing a prairie dog!
    She watches Animal Planet all the time!

    Teddy watches TV all the time

    His favourite thing to watch is a Dog Show. He also watches hockey sometimes but most of the time it gets his attention because of a noise he hears.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.
