# Stuff You Should Know: How Do Dogs Perceive Time?
Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating question of whether dogs actually experience time the way humans do, or if they're stuck living purely in the present moment. They explore the difference between semantic and episodic memory, break down some controversial scientific studies that claim animals can't perceive time, and ultimately challenge those conclusions with plenty of real-world examples from their own dogs' behavior. Fair warning: the guys also spend a considerable chunk of the episode geeking out over the massive listener response to their recent Muppets episode, complete with heartwarming emails from fans.
