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.

Hello Little Guy,
It was not to long ago when momma showed me a picture of you in the pound. I told her right away to get you. Momma said that you wanted to go home with her right away. I will be honest, when I picked you up I wanted to leave you there. You were this skinny, stinky, dirty bag of bones. I brought you home and momma gave you lots of love. It took a little while for me to get close to you. You made it so hard for me. You peed on my bed, you chewed all the buttons off of my hats, you did a lot of things that got me mad in the beginning. Then you starting learning to be a good boy. You actually became a happy little guy that made me happy whenever I was down. You became my best friend. You were also mommas little guy that followed her every where she went. She loved you so much. You were everything to her. I want you to know that I am so sorry for what happened to you. I wish we never went out that morning. I wish you were still here with your momma and daddy. You were the biggest, happiest, little dog around. We miss you so much. We will always love our "Little Guy".
Missing you dearly,
Momma (sabrina) and Daddy (david) and Amber
