14 DAY TRIAL // For some reason, plenty of people are quite convinced that dogs can't distinguish between all the different colors that make up the world around us. Otherwise put, they claim that pooches are born colorblind.
The thing is that, as explained in the video below, this is not true. Admittedly, dogs cannot see as many colors as we humans can, but this does not mean that the world is just black and white to them.
On the contrary, studies have shown that pooches are equipped with special retina receptors that make it possible for them to zoom in on the colors blue and yellow.
What this means is that, although they are utterly clueless about what the color red looks like, dogs are very much familiar with the color of the ocean and, say, a banana.
In fact, experiments have shown that, if trained properly, pooches can pick and choose between a yellow object and a blue one, even gray and greenish-brown ones.
Admittedly, being able to distinguish these colors does not mean that dogs will become extraordinaire fashion designers or interior decorators anytime soon.
Still, what's important to keep in mind is that, contrary to popular assumption, the world that the dogs we share out homes with see isn't just black and white, but instead rather entertaining color-wise.
