Dogs understand human perspective, say researchers

Not really understanding the resentment for scientists. We can't just take peoples perceptions as facts, there has to be scientific research to prove it, no matter how obvious you might think it is.

Lots of things are "obvious" that turn out be complete crap when tested scientifically.

This instance was obvious

I love it when dogs do that, I find it really cute.

We always used to say my dog was hunting bunnies in his sleep because that's all he basically did, even though my dad wanted him to be the waterfowl variety.

Poor Poot was gunshy though.

Me too. I love to watch that. I think you can tell they are having a "good dream" when they do that, unless they start whimpering. I think thats a nightmare and I wake them up.

But otherwise, I let em roll. Like you said, its cute. You know they are in there having a "doggie good time".

Gotta say I've never seen anything quite like that seizure before.....I laughed at first, because mine have done some pretty funny stuff in their sleep, but nothing like that.

For which I am now eternally grateful.

ahh your dogs are so adorable! I think greyhounds are absolutely beautiful animals, and I would love to have one for a pet.

No greyhounds at all, just Lurchers and not all of them are mine.....But they are all related and I do walk them all.
