Can dogs look up with their eyes2007-11-25 3:00:00

my friend claims that dogs move their head upwards to see what's going on and they can't actually look up with their eyes - is this true?

Answers:

Hi, your friend is wrong, they can & do look up with their eyes.

Have a look at this photo:

She's not quite looking totally upwards but you can see that her eye has moved because it showing part of the white underneath.

Compare it to this photo:

Same dog but no eye whites showing at all because she is looking straight at the camera.

Hope this helps.

Mine looks up at me all the time without moving his head.

---

Yes. So can you.

---

Have your friend state her source.

---

Um, not that I know of. My dog can look up with his eyes. Your friend sounds like a dummy, lol.

---

No. They only move their heads when the thing they want to see is too far up (as we do)

---

I have seen dogs being told off by their owners and they cower their heads but also look up I suppose for some gesture of forgiveness maybe, I am not in the know on this subject but from what ive seen I would disagree.

My dogs and cats and horses all look up with their eyes

---

My dog can, but he's a border collie.. he can do anything!

I DONT HAVE PETS

not sure as i dont have a dog unfortunately. :(

That's a really good question, and youhave me wondering if your friend may be right. My little dog does move her head up to look up at things. Amazing thumbs up to your friend and you for posting that question

Of course they can! Your friend is either pulling your leg or is not too bright!
