As a dog owner, I smirked when the author described dogs as only interested in humans because we supply the food. Yeah, that's probably true, but I don't care if my beloved pet only thinks of me as a meal dispenser, it's actually kinda funny.

> But when they murmur and pump their legs while sleeping, they’re dreaming of freedom.

But ouch. That really hurts.

My dog got free and was lost for four days earlier this year. It was one of the most scariest experiences in my life, although nowadays from time to time I feel happy he at least got to experience a little freedom, especially when I neglect to take him out to an off-leash dog park for a few weeks.

Don't feel bad, your pet dreams of walks and running exurberantly around the park - dogs have been breed to love their servitude... as have we.

I wouldn't read too much into that; the life of a wild dog is far more harsh and brutal than one that has a caring owner.

Mine sometimes will also whimper while dreaming, but I guess that's part of the freedom too
