I always knew dogs had an incredible sense of smell, but did you know they can smell 100,000 times better than humans? Or that dogs can smell things up to 40 feet underground?
There’s an article from the Animal Health Care Center newsletter about a dog’s sense of smell, it contains some very informative information.
Here are six interesting facts, how many did you know?
1. The USDA uses Jack Russell Terriers to detect brown tree snakes hidden on cargo being loaded on planes in Guam.
2. The US Customs and Border Protection has 800 canine teams which look for explosives, drugs, concealed people, and even hidden currency.
3. Dogs check international travelers at borders and airports for agricultural contraband and find 75,000 items a year.
