00:00Welcome back to another informative episode from Simply Awesome Planet.

00:03I'm so glad you tuned in again.

00:06Ever notice how your dog is always sniffing?

00:08For them, their nose is their main way of seeing the world.

00:11Every scent tells a story who's been here, what happened, and what might happen next.

00:16When you walk your dog, they're not just pulling on the leash,

00:19they're reading the pee mail left by other dogs tracking squirrels

00:23and catching up on the neighborhood news.

00:25Sniffing is mental exercise and a vital part of their instincts.

00:28Even though our dogs live in our homes,

00:30their wild ancestors used their noses to find food, avoid danger, and connect with others.

00:36When your dog sniffs a new person, they're gathering information and feeling secure.

00:41Their nose is their guide and their way of understanding the world.

00:45Respecting their need to sniff helps us build a better relationship with them.

00:49Letting them explore scents on walks or playing scent games enriches their lives.

00:54Their nose isn't just a part of their face,

00:56it's the window to their soul and the map to their world.

00:59So next time your dog stops to sniff, remember,

01:02they're experiencing a world we can barely imagine.

01:05Give them time to explore, it's their way of connecting.

01:08Their sense of smell is their superpower.

01:10It's what makes a dog, a dog.

01:12Let's appreciate this amazing gift.

01:15Every walk is an adventure for their nose.

01:17Their world is a rich tapestry of scents.

01:20We can only guess at the stories they read with every sniff.

01:23Their nose is their greatest tool, and it's one of the many reasons we love them.

01:28What makes a dog's nose so special?

01:30It's a marvel of biology.

01:32Their nostrils move independently, helping them pinpoint where a smell comes from.

01:37When they breathe in, air splits.

01:39One path for breathing, one for smelling.

01:42This lets them sniff continuously.

01:44Dogs have a vomeronasal organ or Jacobson's organ in the roof of their mouth,

01:49detecting pheromones and chemical signals we can't sense.

01:52When a dog curls its lip after sniffing, it's using this organ to get extra information.

01:57Inside, their noses are packed with hundreds of millions of scent receptors.

02:01Far more than our six million.

02:03Some breeds, like bloodhounds, have enough scent tissue to cover their whole body.

02:08Their wet nose traps scent particles and licking transfers those particles to the Jacobson's organ for analysis.

02:14Even the moisture on their nose helps them track air currents and follow scents.

02:18Every part of their nose is designed for one thing, decoding the world through smell.

02:23It's a biological machine, perfectly tuned for scent.

02:27Their nose is their super sensor.

02:29No wonder they can smell what we never could.

02:32To grasp a dog's sense of smell, compare it to ours.

02:35You smell beef stew, a dog smells every ingredient.

02:38Beef, carrots, onions, even a pinch of salt.

02:41Scientists say a dog's sense of smell is up to 100,000 times better than ours.

02:45If your eyesight was as good as their nose, you'd see a person from 3,000 miles away.

02:51For dogs, the world is a high-definition movie of scents.

02:54For us, it's a blurry photo.

02:56A dog could detect a teaspoon of sugar in two Olympic pools of water.

03:00That's why they can find a single drop of blood or a person buried under snow.

03:04Their nose is a precision instrument not just for breathing.

03:07Dogs can even tell how old a scent is, tracking time by how a smell fades.

03:12Their nose is a time machine, reading the past and present.

03:16Their world is full of invisible stories.

03:19We can only imagine what they sense.

03:21Their nose is their superpower.

03:23And it's truly extraordinary.

03:26A dog's nose isn't just for fun, it saves lives.

03:29Police dogs sniff out drugs hidden in impossible places.

03:33Search and rescue dogs find lost people in forests or under rubble,

03:36working faster than any human team.

03:39Their focus and instinct make them heroes.

03:41Tracker, a German shepherd, found the last survivor at the World Trade Center after 9-11s,

03:46detecting a person buried under 30 feet of debris.

03:50Dogs can be trained to detect cancer, alert diabetics to low blood sugar,

03:53and even find invasive insects.

03:55Their list of jobs keeps growing as we discover more about their abilities.

03:59These dogs are partners, protectors, and lifesavers.

04:02Their noses do what no machine can.

04:04Working dogs show us the true power of the canine nose.

04:07They help us in ways we never imagined.

04:09Their natural gift is a force for good.

04:12They're heroes with four paws and a wet nose.

04:14And they remind us how amazing dogs truly are.

04:17A dog's nose is a marvel we should never take for granted.

04:21It shapes their world, guides their behavior, and enriches their lives.

04:25Our responsibility is to let them use it.

04:27On walks, in games, and every day.

04:30A walk is a scent adventure, not just exercise.

04:33Letting your dog sniff is like letting a child read a favorite book.

04:37Playing scent games strengthens your bond and keeps your dog happy.

04:40For thousands of years, dogs have used their noses to help us hunt, protect, and survive.

04:45Today, they find missing people, detect disease, and keep us safe.

04:49Their nose is a symbol of our partnership.

04:51Next time your dog sniffs, remember, they're exploring a world of wonder.

04:55Their nose is their superpower, and it's one of the many reasons we love them.

04:59Let's celebrate this incredible gift every day.

05:02Well folks, I hope you liked this Simply Awesome Planet episode.

05:05See you again and keep on sniffing.
