Dear Dr. Alice,
My dog spends hours and hours staring out the window. It is like he is a cat. Why is he doing this? and I thought dogs didn’t see that well. Is there something wrong with him? Signed, Window Dressing

 

Dear Window Dressing,
Nothing is wrong with your dog. His vision is good enough to see plenty, almost as well as we do when looking out the window. A lot of dogs love to see what is happening in their worlds. And some of them are smart enough to realize that the world is bigger than their own house or apartment and back yard. So just be content that your dog is super smart and curious. And that he has his own entertainment system.
