World’s First Show Created For Dogs

It is known that the dogs love to music and, especially, good music. As with other art expressions, pet owners can’t interact much with furry friends. But this new dog show could change that.

Love for art. Dog Show

British insurance company “More Than” held an art exhibition for dogs created by renowned British artist and inventor Dominic Wilcox.

This artist, among many other things, draws, paints and makes inventions worthy of any mad scientist. He has created everything from shoes with GPS that guide the user straight to his house (perfect for one of those party nights) to a bi-audio device to hear urban sounds separately and 3D printers.

A curious exhibition for dogs

This exhibition for dogs is a reflection of the “controlled madness” of this artist. An interactive exhibition/installation that includes a car window simulator called “Cruising Canines”. When they see it, the dogs put their heads, as they have the feeling of being in motion.

There ‘s also a gigantic container filled with dog balls, which has been dubbed the “Dinnertime Dreams ” (the dogs’ immediate reaction is to throw themselves into it for the balls), and even high-level impressionist canvases.

This Dog Show was recently held in London. In one area of ​​the exhibition, there is an artificial field from which even water comes out. Dogs run and walk around, thinking they are in the park.

Author’s opinion

According to Dominic Wilcox himself, animals can appreciate his works as much as the music, since they were painted with colors like blue and yellow, which are totally visible to dogs.

Dogs are said to have less developed eyesight for detail than we do. It is that the vision of dogs is five times poorer than that of humans.

canine vision

A person is able to distinguish an object or a toy 90 meters away, while the dog will need to be 20 meters away from it to perceive it.

Also, the visible color spectrum for dogs is much smaller than what we have. It’s been proven that dogs see the world in two basic shades: blue and yellow. And this could be demonstrated in an exhibition for furry.

Our furry friends are unable to differentiate between green, red and orange and, effectively, they don’t see much differently from colorblind people.

Scholars claim that dogs are able to recognize images on a TV screen. They can even distinguish animals that they have never seen in their lives, as well as different sounds from the TV, such as barking, voices, etc.

In the midst of a crowd of people who may appear on a screen, a dog can visually distinguish other dogs among those people.

A quicker view

They say that dogs’ eyes capture images faster than ours, so for them, on older televisions, those that showed fewer frames per second, they couldn’t appreciate anything. This is not the case with the resolution of modern televisions.

The breed or personality of the dog also has a great influence on this. For example, Terrier dogs can react much better to television images than Hounds, as they are most motivated by smell, not sight.

Hunting dogs, guided by their sense of smell, don’t usually pay much attention to images. In contrast, so-called sheepdogs, such as terriers, are more attracted to what they see on their TV screen.

If we intend to test our dog on television shows, we may not see anything other than indifference. This is not to say that our pet is insensitive, but rather that it will be more interested in content specifically created for them.

Hearing a dog bark on television usually excites other watching dogs. Some not only bark with the furry on the screen, but also run behind the device, looking for them.
