No animal can see in the dark. Some, however,have adapted to use low levels of light. Dogs are thought to see five times better than humans in dim light (but not as good as cats).
In addition to a reflective layer in the eye called the tapetum, dogs have several adaptations to improve their night vision:
- A larger pupil lets in more light.
- The center of the retina has more of the light-sensitive cells (rods).
- The retina has more light-sensitive compounds torespond to lower light levels.
- The lens is located closer to the retina, making the image on the retina brighter.

∙ 14y agoNo one is quite sure how much better a dog sees in dim light, but I would suspect that dogs are not quite as good as cats," which can see in light that's six times dimmer than our lower limit. Dogs, he says, "can probably see in light five times dimmer than a human can see in."

∙ 13y agoOur eyes and dog's eyes have rod and cones. Rods are for picking up light and Cones are for resolution or color. Practically dog have more rods and cones and with that they can see better in the dark than us humans especially cats who have so much cones that they practically see a clear picture of what's going on in the dark.

Like humans, dogs cannot see in truly dark conditions, but dogs' eyesight is better at night with minimal light from the moon, stars, or human lighting. They also detect motion much better in general, whereas humans detect color much better, so at night humans are at a disadvantage for color detection but dogs can still see motion easily.
