When you take your greyhound/s for walks, their nose is smelling everything! They 'see' the world with their noses like we 'see' the world with our eyes! Just imagine!
And do you know how well a dog can smell?! Dogs can smell 10,000 to 100,000 times better than humans!
"Let's suppose they're just 10,000 times better," says James Walker, former director of the Sensory Research Institute at Florida State University, who, with several colleagues, came up with that jaw-dropping estimate during a rigorously designed, oft-cited study. "If you make the analogy to vision, what you and I can see at a third of a mile, a dog could see more than 3,000 miles away and still see as well."
