Answer:

There are 2 dogs

Explaination:

If there are 28 eyes in total,

Dogs- 4 eyes

Chickens- 8 eyes

Fishes - 16 eyes

In total they have 28 eyes

if there are 16 legs,

Dogs- 8 legs

Chickens- 8 legs

Fishes- 0 legs

So,

2 Dogs

4 Chickens

8 Fishes

( the problem even said that there are twice as many fish as chickens)
