Now I know why my Greyhound Ginger’s nose was in my crotch!
“ the researchers are now attempting to pin down what it is they are smelling to create an artificial nose.”

The senses of smell and taste, which we humans aren’t that great at, is one sense that we haven’t yet greatly improved with mechanical/electrical devices. Vision has had the telescope and microscope for centuries and we’ve extended our sense of sound to detect very faint sounds in frequencies we cannot hear.

But we have no idea what the world reveals to our pups when they are busy sniffing the ground.

One of my dogs used to ride in the car with his nose to the vent on the dashboard. If we got within 50 feet of a dog, he’d stand up and check it out.
