Dog's Superior Sense of Smell!


Did you know that .........
* A dog's sense of smell has been tested at 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than a humans's.
* Human noses have 6 million receptor sites. Beagle noses have more than 300 million.
* A dog can detect a human scent on a glass slide that has been lightly fingerprinted and left outside for 2 weeks.
* A dog can detect a teaspoon of sugar diluted in a million gallons of water, or as much as it takes to fill two Olympic-sized pools.
