mbc1963 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Last night, I was asleep in bed, and my dog Buddy was downstairs asleep in the living room. The dog two doors down was barking: not loudly enough to wake Buddy, but obviously loudly enough for him to hear. Every time the dog let out a bark, Buddy (asleep) howled like a wolf. I've never heard him do that before in six years. I had an old shepherd-husky mix who did that, as well, just once in her 14-year life: howled a perfect wolf-howl from dreamland. Seems that, in dreams, dogs must travel back to their ancestral past. I wish I could see what they're dreaming. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthfieldNick Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 My Nick doesn't need to dream! At a trial recently, people kept wondering what that crazy, keening, howling sound was. Oh, that would be my dog howling because I'm running the puppy... It's a bit embarrassing! Oddly enough, when my dogs were within hearing distance of real wolves ("domestic" ones in a sanctuary), Nick did not join in their howling. He does howl with coyotes, though!
