Canine Vision
Canine vision differs significantly from human vision. Dogs have a higher number of rod cells, which are sensitive to low light, allowing them to see better in dim conditions. However, they have fewer cone cells, which are responsible for color detection, meaning dogs primarily see shades of blue and yellow, while red and green appear more muted.
Additionally, dogs possess a reflective layer behind their retinas called the tapetum lucidum. This layer enhances their night vision by reflecting light that passes through the retina back into their eyes. As a result, dogs can detect movement and see in the dark more effectively than humans.
