"What is my dog dreaming about when her paws start to contract and a faint cry is extracted from her lips as she convulses?"
To me, having spent lots of time with my sister's dog, the answer is so simple...
Hands. She's dreaming of having hands. Human hands with thumbs. So she can grab human food more easily. Those faint cries are cries of victory as she envisions herself putting a fork loaded with beef to her mouth. The convulsing represents her victory dance.
This is especially true if it's a small dog.No human can watch the video below and NOT think that the little pug longs to snatch the man's hand and pull both it and the treats down to the kitchen floor so all that tedious begging can be eliminated.

HI CHAD! Karen Cooper here, saw this on Goodreads and thought about you since you like to write limericks: Blazevox is throwing a limerick contest - details here:
Holy cats, it's true. We are inaugurating a National Poetry Month email contest for limericks. We provide the first two lines and you write out the rest and send to us by email. The top three entries of the month will win a BlazeVOX book from our extensive catalog of fine books!
Please send your limerick to Clarice Waldman, care of limerick@blazevox.org
Hope you win if you enter.
Karen C.
Oops, I think you might need to google Goodreads, blazevox, limerick to find out what the lines are or if I have time, I'll look for them tonight. Cheers.
Found the direct link for you (they have 10 sets of first two lines, and the rules say to hurry, lol. http://www.blazevox.org/index.php/blog/holy-cats/
Thanks so much, Karen! I'll give this my best shot.
