Dobby's new Buddy: A Look 'Behind' their Friendship

in #animalphotography6 years ago (edited)

Right now we're housesitting (and dogsitting) for my sister while her whole family is out of the country on vacation.

Good thing that we brought Dobby (our 🐶) along with us because he and Cha (the other 🐶 we are watching) ended up becoming fast buddies.

Did you know that dogs' sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 times better than humans? That's primarily because of their large olfactory membrane that holds more than 225 million olfactory receptors, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information

When one sniffs another dog's derrière, it’s basically getting a brief biography of its new friend, written in scent molecules and pheromones. Dogs secrete chemicals that can tell a sniffer a lot of information about their owner: such as gender, reproductive status, and clues about its health, diet, and even emotional state.

Now you know. 😁
