For those of you who have dogs at home, have you ever noticed how your dogs look when they sleep?
Recently, a netizen posted a video of his dog sleeping, which made a lot of people laugh.

There are some tears in its blurred eyes.
The way this dog looks when sleeping is so funny. No wonder the owner put a subtitle on it, "Who is trying to kill me?" Maybe it is about to dominate the dog world in its sleep~
Why does the dog have such a cute expression when sleeping? Do dogs also dream? What do they dream about? ...With these doubts, let the editor take everyone into the dog's sleep~
Q1: How does the dog sleep?
Dogs are very alert animals, so their sleeping posture has a certain relationship with the environment they are in, and they generally create a safer sleeping environment for themselves. Dogs generally like to sleep on their stomachs, using their front paws to protect their sensitive nose and their ears to the ground to prevent sudden attacks. Dogs like to sleep in small and closed spaces. If there is no fully enclosed environment, they will choose a place that can protect them from a certain side. This is mainly to ensure their own safety.
Q2: Can dogs dream?
Of course dogs can dream! Moreover, the sleep patterns and brain activities of dogs and humans are similar. The smaller the dog, the more dreams it may have, but the dreaming time will be shorter. If you see your dog’s eyes rolling, facial twitching, or whimpering while they sleep, it’s not that they are exercising their facial muscles, it’s that they are dreaming. Don’t disturb the dog’s dream at this time, just let it sleep sweetly~
Q3: What do dogs dream about?
"Thinking during the day, dreaming at night." Dogs' dreams may be closely related to their activities during the day, and their owners are likely to be the protagonists in their dreams.
If the dog's limbs twitch while sleeping, they may be dreaming about laughing and playing with their friends or owners;
If the dog suddenly wag their tail while sleeping, it is likely that they saw the person they like in their dreams;
If the dog drools while sleeping, it may be that they are dreaming of chewing bones or other delicious food;
If the dog groans and chirps as if talking in his sleep, it is likely that the dog was scolded by the owner in the dream and feels wronged;
If the dog snores and breathes rapidly while sleeping, it means that the amount of playing exercise is too much and he was too tired just now...
Q4: How long does the dog sleep every day?
Dogs need much more sleep than humans. They generally sleep 14 to 15 hours a day, and young dogs can even sleep for 18 hours. Dogs' sleep is divided into light sleep and deep sleep. Generally, when they feel bored, they will enter intermittent light sleep. They usually lie down to rest with their eyes closed, but will wake up immediately if there is any movement around them.
Dear poop hunters, you might as well go back and observe how dogs look when they sleep. Maybe you are the protagonist in the dog’s dream, and you may even get a few emoticons by accident~
