I thought this was pretty neat. I'm sure there's even more scents that are not highlighted here, but can you imagine all the info they are taking in each walk?

A fun visual representation of what your dog sees (smells) every day. Look at how noisy it is and how many tracks there are intertwining. The different animals, people, and dogs movement in just one area. The snow lets us humans see the history of this area and what animals and people have passed through. A dog will smell this every day and know who and what animals have passed through. Smellavision!!!!

Dogs are incredible.

Imagine tracking and detection dogs needing to filter out all this noise and track a single scent down. Amazing!

(Note this is a fun representation, not accurate)

Chihuahuas wear their emotions on their sleeves and, by doing so, they're excellent at communicating their emotional state. They are brilliant learners, love to train, cuddle, and make excellent trick dogs. So why are they so misunderstood? It's a human problem, NOT a breed one.

You can take the dog out of the wilderness, but you can’t take the wilderness out of the dog

Evolution, domestication, and artificial selection have made a great many changes to our dog friends, but it seems that an innate ability to detect predator scents is not something that has been lost.

A study that presented 82 domestic dogs across the UK and Norway with predator f***l scents from Eurasian brown bears and European lynx (as well as a Eurasian beaver and a control of water), measured time spent near each scent and heart rate changes while in close proximity to the scent.

The researchers found that these dogs spent less time around the predator scents than the herbivore and control scents, and their heart rates increased when near the predator scents. So it turns out that domestic dogs retain an inherent ability to identify the scents of large predators, even if they have not previously had any contact with those animals (potentially for generations!).

In other studies of prey species, that predator scent detection ability cues behaviors associated with survival, like fear and avoidance, so it’s not a surprise that it is a valuable skill to retain. Yet another fascinating function of dog sniffing!
