Hello! Dogs will often vocalize (barking or whining) during deep sleep, since they do dream. If he is easily woken up, and doesn't make these noises when awake, then he is probably dreaming. However, dribbling urine during sleep may indicate that Patch has a urinary tract infection, incontinence, or other urinary tract illness. It would be a good idea to have him checked out by your vet and have a urinalysis done to be sure. Hope this helps!
