Sniffing Around

Dogs are the best sniffers around- can you believe they have 220 million olfactory receptors? To put things in perspective, humans have 5 million meaning dogs have 1,000x better sense of smell than humans. If you notice your dog standing still and silent sniffing the air, they’re either tracking prey or sensing danger. They can tell the difference between people and dogs based on their smell- even identical twins!
