About Dogs: tongue in cheek

Above is a picture of my Abby dog. Notice she is watching us out of the corner of her eye.  A yellow lab, the best kind of dog in the world.  They really are dogs for the common good.   As king of the world, I would give out free lab puppies to all who want them!
But what I am wondering today is just what it is about dogs?  Here is what they do that we see:  they eat, they sleep, they poop, they sleep,  they lick,  they sleep, they watch a little t.v.,  they sleep, they beg for treats, they sleep,  they bark and whine, they sleep, they chew on some cow hide,  they sleep, they take up the whole bed at night while they sleep.  The best dogs are protective but friendly, love to be petted, follow you wherever you go, and help you with your work if they can. And sleep a lot. So, yeah, you say.  So what, you say.  They are dogs that's it.
OR IS IT?
hmmmm   Lately I have started to suspect that dogs are actually  leading  a double life.  When they are asleep, I think they are engaged in what Carlos Casteneda termed in his amazing books, " active dreaming."  And that dreaming takes place in another place called ":the dog dimension."
Have you noticed when they are asleep they are constantly doing something active?  Breathing hard, limbs pumping, eyes fluttering.  I think the reason they only live 15 odd years here in our time, and sleep most of it away,  is because they lead a double life.  With us, they are subject to our whims, and live in boring houses and do boring things.  But when they are asleep they live  in the dog dimension where they run free with their pals and do whatever they want!  They probably can even talk there!  And that place must be filled with all good things for dogs....steak bones, fluffy balls to tear apart, rubber balls to play catch with, milkbone mountains and watering holes that magically refill, tons of other dogs to play with, no t.v. And no naps.
If you think about it, it makes sense!  They have to rest up in our dimension to be running free in theirs!
The term "a dog's life" may mean much more than we think!
