Can a dog sleepwalk?
While dogs may very well dream, they cannot sleepwalk, according to Pete Wedderburn, the resident vet for The Telegraph, since 2007. How do you know when a dog is sleepwalking? Dogs can't sleepwalk like humans (moving around in a coordinated way that outwardly resembles normal “awake” behaviour). They are more prone to random, jerky movements while asleep, such as paddling their legs (as if dreaming of running) or, at most, perhaps lurching a few feet before flopping to the ground.
