Do dogs have colour vision?

Yes. However, their colour vision differs from human beings, since dogs are said to have dichromatic vision, which means they can see only part of the range of colours in the visual spectrum of light wavelengths.

This means that they primarily see in shades of yellow and blue.

This is often referred to as the spirit or soul. In such beliefs, a new personality is developed during each life, based on past integrated experience and new acquired experiences, but some part of the being remains constantly present through successive lives. Many persons have claimed to record memories of past lives. Dr Ian Stevenson has researched the subject extensively but it hasn’t been proven scientifically.
