They’ve learnt to look at human faces for communication clues and can even tell how we’re are feeling by how we look! Dogs are also able to identify individual people from their facial features and can even recognise their owner in a photograph. So for dogs, yes, they are likely to recognise your face!

He might kick you in his sleep or fart dangerously close to your face, but the fact he’s sleeping with you in the first place is a good sign you’ve earned his complete trust. Dogs are the most vulnerable when they’re asleep.
