It is true that the majority of dogs (excluding sighthounds) have quite poor eyesight. Most dogs have what we call in humans "near sightedness" meaning they can see fine up-close but further away things get "blurry" no that does not mean that all of the sudden your image disappears 20feet away.

While dogs may not be able to identify a person or animal by sight, they can tell in which direction they are moving.
So they can tell a clockwise or counterclockwise movement.
They also have the ability to see at night and a facility known as eyeshine or tapetum lucidum. Which would obviously surpass a humans ability to see in the night.


Basically, at 20 feet or whatever away, your dog can still see you, just not perfectly.

yea pretty much they cant see you, but i am not sure-but i think they can see your shadow... they depend on their eyes and ears together to help them get around
