Studies show dogs who twitch while sleeping think of hurting owners
It is said that dogs think of "devouring its master if observed fidgeting even the slightest bit while sleeping." (Ithaca, NY writer) This is clearly a fake news article; there is no way people can assume that dogs are thinking this while they are sleeping. Apparently making sudden movements while sleeping like growling, jerking back, moving their paws is said to represent their thoughts. There is no proof provided in the article or data that is represented that is actually factual information to prove that this is a real statement. The only information that is given is statements and opinions of people assuming these actions.
