Is it normal for puppies to whimper and seem to have dreams while sleeping?

It's reasonable to expect that dogs dream, Faith. The dog brain is structured similarly to the human brain, has electrical activity similar to that of humans, and during sleep, goes through cycles the way human brains do. It would be so interesting to know WHAT they dream about.

Actually, it would be interesting to know what's going through their mind at any time. I used to observe my cat when she was just sitting or reclining somewhere, and wonder what must be going through her mind.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
