daily painting animals by artist dj geribo benji the llasa detailSince I've had dogs for many years, I've heard a lot of myths about dogs - some are true and some have maybe a grain of truth to them and then others have been just plain wrong. Dogs seeing everything in black and white, not being able to distinguish color, is one myth I've heard again and again. But is it true?

Dogs do indeed see in color but more like people who have red/green color blindness. Their eyes have receptors for blue/green shades but not red shades, which means, they can't distinguish between yellow, green, and red but they can more easily distinguish between blue, purple, and gray.  

 

Does Benji think he's laying on a gray floor?
