Pet Tip
Dog is a Crotch Sniffer – Pet tip 245
Most dog owners are aware that dog noses are extremely sensitive. This is due to the quantity of olfactory or ‘smell’ receptors in a dog’s nose. Whereas humans have around five million olfactory receptors, dogs have two hundred and twenty million. This makes their noses exponentially more sensitive than a human’s. Most times a dog’s sensitive nose works to our benefit. All kinds of dogs are used as service dogs to help humans find missing people, sniff out explosives, drugs etc. They can smell people coming from quite a distance and alert us to their presence. There are some embarrassing occasions however, when a dog’s nose is just too sensitive from our human perspective. Most notably this occurs when dogs try to sniff humans in their private areas.
This behaviour is a common one in dogs and equally common is the fact that it upsets most dog owners. The reason some dogs sniff at a human’s private parts is the same reason they sniff the private parts of other dogs. We know that when they smell other dogs in this way they can tell the sex, rank (is the dog more dominant or submissive) age and other information about the dog.

Dear George,
I am so sorry i couldnt protect you from harm.Daddy said it only took a split second of not watching and you got out of the house.I will forever regret not protecting you as you have been my rock, if it wasnt for you i would not be here today and now because i was a horrible mommy for one second you are no longer with me. I have found the area where you were killed and realize just how close to me you were, im sure you were on your way home to get your treats, i visit that spot often and want you to know i will forever miss you and you are always in my heart. I miss and Love you more than you could know. Ryder is missing you too and daddy as well.
ALL my Love,
Mommy
