Dogs' visual acuity is lower so they cannot focus as well. An object a human can see clearly may appear to be blurred to a dog looking at it from the same distance. A rough estimate is that dogs have about 20/75 vision, which isn't that good, but oh well. Also, they can only see in black and white.
Actually, research shows that dogs CAN see some colors, just not at the same intensity as humans and not the same spectrum. It's a little more complicated, but basically, they can see shades of blue and yellow. Red and orange are seen as shades of gray. Green as I understand it is gray but blue-green can be seen. And I think they can see some shades of magenta. But I still stick with the basic yellow and blue. And I will say my dog's favorite toys have always been yellow.

Dogs can't see bright colors like humans do but they can see soft, very light colors of only certain colors, they are limited.
Yes in fact birds can see colors more intensely than humans. Birds have 4 cones in their retinas opposed to the 3 cones in a human retina
Dog's see like a color blind person would. They can only see certain colors. They DON'T see in B/W!
Dogs are most attracted to colors like blue, yellow, and green because they can see these colors well. These colors can help keep your dog engaged and entertained while playing with their toys.
Kill the dog,take out the eyes and give a scientist to test it.
Traditionally, people were always told that dog's couldn't see color. Research has shown this idea to be false, however. Dogs can see color, but not as many colors as humans. This is because dogs have 2 types of cones ( structures in the eyes which process colors) rather than the 3 that humans have. A dog's color vision is now compared to a human's who has red-green color blindness. An article with a picture showing what a color spectrum appears like to a human and might appear like to a dog can be found at the related link.
