I’ll give you this—a dog has an impressive sense of smell.
They have tens of thousands more receptors than we do, even two different
passageways that separate the air they breathe from the air they smell. By some
accounts, they can sniff out a teaspoon of sugar in the amount of water it
takes to fill two Olympic-sized pools. Or, according to James Walker, former
Director of the Sensory Research Institute, if smell were sight, what we can see
at 1/3 mile, a dog can see at 3,000 miles.
But the facts still don’t negate the miracle.
