Unlike humans who have three different color sensitive cone cells in their retina (red, green and blue) dogs have only two (yellow and blue) meaning they can't distinguish green, yellow or red objects based on their color. Even though dogs can’t see colors like we do, the dog in the video below has somehow figured out when to cross the street by watching the traffic light.

Footage shows a stray dog and a lady waiting to cross the busy street, clearly showing that the pedestrian crossing light is still red. Moments later, the lady chooses to ignore the light, and crosses the street anyway.

However, the clever dog decides to obey the traffic rules and waits for the traffic light to turn green to cross the street. We don’t know how this dog knew when the light went off, but he sure crosses the road better than humans do.

Unprovoked by the lady who didn’t obey the traffic rules, the dog sat still and waited for the light to turn green for him to cross the street. What a good dog! This video is the perfect proof that in some ways, dogs are so much better than humans!

We still wonder how the dog was able to distinguish the difference between the red and green light and how did he know it was time to cross the street?
