A group of experts have uncovered what dogs likely think about when they're left home alone - and it's sad enough to make you never want to leave the house ever again
Every dog owner knows how difficult it is to close the door on your pet while they're giving you the puppy eyes. But unfortunately for them, many of us have to leave the house to earn money to keep their stomachs full, and to buy new toys when they inevitably rip theirs apart.
The Dog People states: "If you've been gone for a long time, your dog might be super excited when you come home. Research shows that the longer you’re away, the happier your dog is when you return. Dogs are social animals, so they may feel sad when their favourite person is gone. This can happen with all dogs, not just those with separation anxiety.
Stanley Coren, a professor emeritus of Psychology at the University of British Columbia, believes dogs dream about their 'favourite things' - and their owners likely make it onto this list. So while you might be away from them physically, they may be 'spending time with you' in their dreams. Coren's research has been backed by Dr Deirdre Barrett, a clinical and evolutionary psychologist at Harvard Medical School, who claims dogs dream about their everyday experiences, just like humans, meaning there's a good chance they are dreaming about their owners.
