It is a common myth that dogs can only see in black and white but they can actually see colours - just not as vividly as humans. They only have two cones in their eyes to detect colours, whereas humans have three. That means dogs see colours on a blue and yellow scale but cannot distinguish between red and green. On the other hand, they have better night vision than humans.
This won’t come as a huge surprise to anyone who has watched their own dog twitching or whimpering in their sleep. Dogs have the same brain wave patterns while they are asleep as humans, so they dream just like we do. But what is more surprising is the fact that not all dogs dream the same amount. Small dogs actually have more dreams than big dogs. For example, a small dog such as a toy poodle may dream once every 10 minutes, whereas a great dane may have around an hour between each dream.
They don't call it puppy love for nothing. The concept that dogs can fall in love was suggested by anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Social Lives of Dogs, who believed two dogs named Sundog and Bean were agonized star-crossed lovers kept apart because neither of their owners wanted to give them up. It may sound far fetched but Paul Zak, a professor at Claremont Graduate University in California, found that a dog’s brain releases oxytocin - the love hormone - when it interacts with humans and dogs, just the same as a human brain does when we hug or kiss.

"Our precious pride & joy, Rocco has been visiting the Furry Tribe for day times and overnight stays since a little pup. When he see's their house he cannot contain his excitement. It is, without doubt, his "home from home". Simone, Raul, Quelin and team know dogs so well. We never thought we could trust anyone to look after Rocco but now we don't give it a second thought. They were instrumental in helping to deal with Rocco's early viciousness and wandering tendencies and helped him become the lovable and obedient pet he now is. We know from first hand experience how they genuinely care for all the dogs and put their welfare and fun first and foremost. They always have such lovely dogs as well. We cannot recommend the Furry Tribe highly enough".
"I Have been using The Furry Tribe for just over 3 years now for my little boy Teddy, after looking hard for a dog walking service I chose the Furry Tribe and have never looked back. Teddy is so happy going to them twice a week which makes me happy, he even goes for his summer holidays with them. They are so accommodating and help me out whenever I ask them, they are literally a phone call away I honestly don’t know what I would do without them. I would(and have) highly recommended them. Thanks Simone, Raul and Quelin for all you do for Teddy and treating him as part of the family".
"It is so comforting to know Oscar is well looked after and loved when he spends time with the Furry Tribe. He gets so excited when they pick him up and always returns from his walks happy and tired. When we travel we know Oscar enjoys his time staying with his Furry Tribe friends, which makes our time away more relaxing. ".
If you need to go away but you're worried about your furry friend being cooped up in kennels, don't worry anymore. When your dog comes to stay with us, he becomes part of our family and lives in our home. He will live with us, watch telly with us on the sofa and come for long muddy walks with us everyday. We really care about the mental and physical wellbeing of your dog and go to every effort to make sure he's happy, truly well looked after and loved. So if you need to go away for a weekend break or a six month business trip, you can know that your dog will be happy with us. Not only that but we regularly upload videos and photos of our doggy adventures, so you'll be able to see how he's getting on.
