Okay, I’m assuming they’re seeing an old style (quick, to the wiki) Anaglyph red/blue 3-d film since the more recent ones don’t rely on color. My question is, wouldn’t the 3-d work for dogs? It’s not like the lack of color perception would magically keep the red lens from filtering out the blue light coming into that eye, thereby making the blues look darker: gray or black (and vice-versa for the blue lens.) In fact, wouldn’t it work better for dogs since they don’t have the ‘two different colors in two different eyes’ thing to worry about? I don’t KNOW, I’m just guessing here. That doesn’t stop this from being a funny comic, as usual, but I just wonder about these things.
Dogs do see some color, but the shades are limited and toned down. They mostly rely on tones of white, black and grey; that way they see movement really well and with less overall light than we do. I think they would really get a kick out of 3-D movies.

Personally, I think they see color just not the same way humans see it. Not just black, grey and white.
