According to experts, it's us! </p><p>Dr Deirdre Barrett, a clinical and evolutionary psychologist at Havard Medical School, has suggested that dogs dream about their owners while they sleep. <br><br>'Humans dream about the same things they&rsquo;re interested in by day, though more visually and less logically,' she told People magazine.<br><br>'There&rsquo;s no reason to think animals are any different. Since dogs are generally extremely attached to their human owners, it&rsquo;s likely your dog is dreaming of your face, your smell and of pleasing or annoying you.' </p><p>Awww.</p><p><img alt="pet2" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/pet2_GL?scl=1"><br> </p>
