Glowing dog eyes

Hi I'm just kind of wondering if it's normal for dogs eyes to shine or is there something wrong not sure thanks

    If you mean they appear to glow in certain lighting conditions and in pictures when flash is used then this is a consequence of the eye structure of dogs. The eyes of dogs (as well as cats and many other animals) possess a light-reflective surface called the tapetum lucidum, which enhances vision in low-light conditions. When you see your dogs eyes glow, what you're seeing is light being reflected back from the back of the eye.
