Everything that occurs in our lives is by default committed
to memory. We all ‘walk down the memory lane’ and relive happy moments from the
past and learn from the negative occurrences in our life. Have you ever
wondered if dogs have any memories?
Studies suggest that although dogs don’t have images and
memories, they have imprints of occurrences. A young dog tentatively comes
towards a huge object in the middle of the room and sniffs at it to explore its
strangeness….suddenly, it comes to life with a horrendously loud noise. The dog
flees in panic. From that moment onwards, that dog would be afraid of the
vacuum. There won’t be a memory but fear associated with the loud, strange
object.
Would a dog remember a former owner, years after he has been
relinquished? Probably. Not by sight or sound but by smell. It’s no secret that
dogs have an amazing sense of smell. Smells have associations and imprints
attached to them. If a former owner found their dog, the dog would remember his
scent. Feelings associated with that scent, whether good or bad would be linked
to the human.
Would a dog remember its owner after being boarded at a
kennel? Absolutely! While dogs tend to go with more of an imprint than memory,
they won’t forget what the person looks like or sounds like in a week.
A dog’s ‘memory’ imprint runs longs and deep but they also
have a great way of leaving a lasting imprint on the hearts of their humans!
