Dogs have a special sense of smell. They can smell your food from another room. Sometimes, they smell things that are invisible to us. They can also smell whether you are sad or happy. Their nose is more powerful than a GPS. Plus, dogs use their noses to greet other dogs. It's their way of saying "hello"! With their sense of smell, they can tell where we've been. It's as surprising as it is fun!

Clever stuff happening!
