I wonder what a Dog is thinking when it is sitting quiet???

Answer 1

They are content and probably wondering if you are going to eat anything soon and if they can beg any off you.

Answer 2

Dogs have a very complex brain as do most mamals.

Dogs will go into somewhat of an overdrive state during periods of inactivity.

Dogs have an increddible sense of smell and one of the things they tend to do is lay quietly and smell things.

You may have seen a dog that was quietly laying down, then all of a sudden for no apparent reason, the raise their head for a second and then put it right down again. Most people would just think the dog heard something and responded when the reality is he/she may have picked up a scent and raise his/her head to get a better wiff.

Also, if you notice that when a dog lays down, it don't take long for them to fall asleep.

Answer 3

I wonder that more about cats, since they tend to sit quiet more often than dogs! And they always look like there's loads going on behind their eyes.

Answer 4

Well, they just think like a human do, you can' t really get into what it is thinking when you are just looking at the dog. But mostly, you can guess more or less of it by looking at its eyes.
