Default Do dogs sleep walk?

I was thinking about this the other day. Can dog's literally sleep walk. I know that they dream and seem like they are running sometimes, but can they actually walk about and do stuff while they are still asleep? Thanks

I don't think that is even possible for a dog to do so!
the closest they get is running while they are sleep on the floor!

I do not think this is possible but now a days anything is possible. Humans can sleep walk so why not dogs and other animals.

My dog definitely sleepwalks. He has done it at least three times. One night he growled at me aunt at the refrigerator, eyes all black, tail down. This is not like him AT ALL. She talked to him and he woke up and wagged his tail. Scientists are still studying to see if dogs sleepwalk, but it is not known if they do. It is very true that dogs twitch and mumble in their sleep though. I've read some stories online where dog owners witnessed their dogs doing something strange in the middle of their sleep, like standing up suddenly and growling, then suddenly laying back down. And when the owner checked her, she was completely asleep again! But it hasn't been proven yet, so this doesn't always mean this was sleepwalking.
