  • Dogs possess up to 3 million olfactory receptors in their noses. The part of a dog’s brain which is devoted to dogs’ analysis of smells is approximately forty times greater than humans’. 
  • Dogs also have a condition called neophilia which means they are attracted by new and interesting smells. This is why it is so important to let dogs explore and use their nose to smell their environments. This is how dogs understand their world.
  • Dogs possess a sense of smell many more times that of any man-made instrument. It is so powerful that a dog can detect and differentiate a single drop of a specific substance in a liquid volume of twenty Olympic size swimming pools.
  • With proper training dogs can detect human diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Dogs can find drugs, bombs and detect missing people. Just from using their nose.
