I have read that dogs cannot really "see" television or their image 
in the mirror.  We know they can hear the tv and can react to sounds 
on it. I read that dogs don't have the depth perception in their 
vision to see the screen as we see it or the mirror image as we see 
it.  Have any studies been done on this?
