Nadine,
It's an interesting question whether the dog knows its owner can't see, or, in
my case, can't see very well. I really don't know, but I suspect my own dog has
no conception of my being almost sightless. At base, I believe he and I have a
pretty ordinary human-dog relationship. As I can actually see him in most
circumstances, I know he makes a lot of eye contact with me, and that includes
when he's working.
I know someone sighted who swears her dog dodges out of the way in the mornings
until she's got her contacts in, but I wonder whether the dog dodges out of the
way the rest of the time as well. I would, if she was my owner!!
Vince.

Interesting, few replies mentioning stealth dog mode. What do folks
think about the dogs cognition of our level of sight? So in my case
does Quartz know I cant see?
He will flop on the floor round the house and during the night if he
gets too hot he will retreat to cooler wooden floor.
