That's a damn good question. I'm curious as well.
My dog sees with his nose, even when it's pitch dark out.

No, Dogs have more rod cells in their eyes, which allows them to be more sensitive at low light conditions, but their eyes cannot sense light at IR wavelengths just like ours can't.  They can see a little bit into the UV spectrum though, but that doesn't really help in this case.

I’ve read conflicting reports about cats chasing IR lasers.

My dog seems to think it’s weird when I’m watching her in the yard at night

This.

A dog's most potent and used sense is their nose.  

Many dogs are blind and their owners don't know because they interact with the world with their noses first.

Sure… if their tubes are gen2 or echo or aren’t filmless.  But the hard part is getting the dog’s NVG helmet to securely stay on thier head, especially dogs with pointed or cropped ears.
