Barb, Yes I am very sure that dogs have memories. I volunteer at Guide Dogs For The Blind and a while back we dropped a very nice German Shepherd from the program. Well the raiser always has first choice to take the dog back. This dogs raiser told us she would take her to a friend. Well I was there the day the raiser came to pick her up. This dog had not seen her raiser for about a year. When they brought the GS into the room where we were waiting with her raiser the dog saw the lady and crawled all the way to her crying like Shepherds can do and crawled all around her crying. The lady never gave her to her friend because she told me later. After the way the dog carried on when she saw her that she couldn't bear to give her away. So I know without a doubt that dogs have memories.
