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.

My cat Flavius Vespasian Cecilio was born on Saint Cecilia´s Day, Nov. 22d, 2005, the third son from my queen Khurrem Abebé. Named after the Roman emperor who began the construction of the Colosseum, he was wise, prudent, sensible and very loyal. He was a peaceful being and he loved to watch me cook. He was the perfect historian´s cat: pragmatic, practical and with a good eye for detail. I still miss him, but I know he must have a terrific catering service up there beyond rainbow bridge. He is buried in my garden, but he lives on in my kitchen and certainly in my heart. Cecilia ruiz de Ríos, Nicaraguan historian, webmistress of www.cablenet.com.ni/historyarte
