Woman has to endure a thorough “sniff inspection” after work
Both dogs sniff their owner curiously and with wide eyes. The pants, the top, the sleeves - everything is examined and analyzed down to the smallest detail. Most dog owners can understand this almost obsessive behavior. After all, her owner was out and about all day and probably had a lot of contact with other animals while she was working. New and foreign smells are particularly exciting for dogs. This also increases the excitement. The supernoses break down the smells - they can filter out individual substances from the countless molecules. You will receive a lot of information about other species. Gender, age, mood, whether someone is relaxed or anxious or whether a female dog is currently in heat. They also learn a lot about their owners by sniffing their intimate areas. They can also sniff out diseases such as lung cancer.
With their super noses, dogs smell about 10,000 times better than humans
The remarkable ability to detect smells far exceeds human perception. In addition to being fascinating, their noses also have a variety of practical applications in areas such as search and rescue, drug detection, and medical diagnosis.
Dogs have a much larger number of olfactory cells in their noses than humans. While we have around five to six million olfactory cells, depending on race and size, they can have up to 300 million or more. This increased number of olfactory cells allows them to perceive smells much more sensitively.

Special abilities of dogs
They also have special anatomical features that enhance their sense of smell, such as the ability to inhale and exhale air through their nostrils separately to better detect smells, as well as the ability to actively moisten their noses to improve their ability to smell improve.
