They pretty much are haha. We joke that they're synchronized - everything they do is simultaneous including bowel movements, sleeping, waking up, etc!

If it is so then they are not fosters they might be twins, doing this cute act of innocence.

Aren't all puppies and kittens twins if they belong to the same litter?

Yes, all dogs in a litter are fraternal; two would be like twins, three would be triplets, and so on. Identical twins (from the same egg) in dogs are incredibly rare.

I was totally like "No way, a 2-headed dog!". Thought they were two thirds of the way to being a Cerberus!

Oh com'om man, he have mentioned in that the two foster ones, if they are foster they are different from the whole. Am I getting it right or just mixing up the name with a word.

I think foster just means that they're rescues. I mostly hear it used for humans. A foster child is a child who has to be under the care of someone other than their parents, usually because their biological parents were abusive or otherwise irresponsible. So I'm guessing it means a similar thing with dogs.
They did mention that they're two of them, but often when there are two-headed animals it's a result of twins combining together in the womb. So they are technically individuals that are just fused together.

Fostering with animals means that the animal is up for adoption, but instead of staying at a shelter they spend their time living with a foster family in their home. The family is only taking care of them until they get adopted, so they won’t stay forever (unless it’s a “foster fail” where the foster family decides to adopt the animal themselves), but it helps the animal get used to living with people in a home. It’s useful for puppies and kittens to learn how to be good house pets at a young age, for elderly animals that need special care there isn’t time or staff for at the shelter, for traumatized animals that need a quieter and calmer place to recover from whatever difficulties they faced before being adoptable, etc.
