Everyone knows that dogs have a perfectly developed scent. And after reading this article, you will change your attitude to your pet. How? Yes, you respect it even more. After all, these tailed can smell something that you did not even think about.
1. Dogs have the same 5 feelings as a person.
But if we are oriented in space, first of all, thanks to sight and hearing, then the dog - with the help of smell.
2. Dogs have two olfactory bulbs located in the brain.
Each weighs 60 grams, which is four times more than our own olfactory bulbs. Thanks to them in the head of the animal all the smells are sorted by the smallest signs. Moreover, these ears are able to determine the concentration, strength and freshness of any smell. By the way, your dog has 4,000% more aromatic receptors than you.
3. Now do not be surprised that the dog can recognize not only your smell, but the smell of your car.
Still these wet noses refer to macrosomatics, animals, which rely more on sense of smell. Did you know that a four-legged friend can smell a scent at a distance of up to 1 km from its source?
4. You will not believe, but your dog remembers all people and in particular his master, not by appearance, but by smell!
Even new spirits do not prevent him from finding a native person among the crowd.
5. As soon as the dog discovers someone's trail, she starts sniffing at him, crossing him several times, looping to the right and then to the left.
Thanks to this "eight", the earswoman compares the freshness, intensity and direction of displacement of the fragrant soil particles and the trace found. This analysis allows him to understand how long he was left and in what direction the object moved. An incredibly clever animal, is not it?
6. Everyone knows that dogs are used to detect drugs, weapons, ammunition and other things.
It is interesting that even at home you can check the unique flair of your pet. So, on a site (approximately 25x25 m in size) place 5 pieces of meat. About her sense of smell can be judged by how quickly she finds it and all the food will be found.
7. Dogs are very much attached to their masters (remember only the story of the devotee Hatiko).
So, when you leave, your pet looks for the smell of the owner in all corners of the house. Moreover, he can spend all day on your bed, lie down on your clothes and, worse still, gnaw badly smelling boots.
8. Did you notice that sometimes your pet looks at you with unconcealed surprise?
And the reason is that this mohnatik smelled, albeit insignificant, changes in the chemical composition of your body. Thus, dogs are able to sense even the slightest hormonal changes. Not surprisingly, dogs repeatedly saved their owners from a heart attack. And in the US, Canada and in some European countries there are schools in which these animals are trained to help people with epilepsy. It is amazing! Dogs can anticipate an impending attack for a slight change in smell, skin color and the size of the pupil of the host.
9. By the way, if your dog can not find the object you need, it does not mean that she has something wrong with the sense of smell.
It is not excluded that the four-legged friend is tired. Thus, with prolonged physical activity, the dog begins to breathe through the mouth, and therefore only 10% of oxygen enters through the nose. This amount is insufficient for reliable recognition of odors. That's why when the dog sniffs, her breathing is deep and slow.
10. Even in winter the dog is able to find the loss.
To do this, it is enough to give the animal the clothes of the missing person. Remembering its smell, the dog struggles to catch the desired trace, not paying attention to its distracting aromas.
11. By the way, dogs will always bark or growl at people who adore peeking into a glass.
Why? Yes, because alcohol is one of the most odor-scented dogs.
12. Since it has been said that dogs are able to smell the occurrence of seizures, diseases, then this list includes cancer.
So, the owners, who had detected malignant tumors, confirmed the fact that a couple of months before, a strange behavior had been observed in the pet. Veterinarians explain this by the fact that, perhaps, wet-nosed are able to smell the chemicals produced by a growing tumor.
13. Have you noticed that the dog's nose is always wet?
Thanks to this animal, it is possible to determine even the slightest movement of air and its direction. This helps them to sort out smells faster and more clearly.
14. You brought a boyfriend into the house, but the dog behaves aggressively towards him?
It turns out that these cute creatures are able to feel the negative and perfectly understand the language of the body. In addition, they perfectly define aggressive people.
15. You will not believe, but your pet is able to determine before yourselves that you are in an interesting position!
This is again explained by the dog's ability to "sniff out" everything that happens to the human body.
