I was merely thinking about dogs I've had and the things they do. They are cute, but frankly, they are also creatures of disgusting habit.
I knew a guy in Maine who was joking about tourists. It seemed this a tourist had driven down to a lobster pier where some bait was ripening. I don't know if you know much about lobstering, but let's just say the bait is ready just before it reaches the mineral stage--its really rank. The tourist gets out of the car, stretches his arms, takes a deep breath (including the bait vapors) and praises the fresh salt air. Meanwhile, his little dog jumps out of the window and rolls around in the spilled lobster bait and hops back in the car. My friend commented that the tourist was going to be smelling that "salt air" for the next few hundred miles.
Dog psychologists say dogs like to roll in offal to hide their scent; personally, I think they think of it as cologne.

There is a huge variety in the the amount of smell receptors that dogs have. Little pushed in face dogs have fewer and the long snouted ones have more. Also the olfactory center in a dogs brain is about 4 times larger than a humans.
I good whiff of something good and stinky is the equivalent of a novel to a dog. They know about where you went, what emotions you experienced, what you ate, if you are healthy or not, if who you visited was healthy or not, they can tell intention by the aromas someone gives off..
The next time your pooch sticks his nose up a visitors butt and embarrasses you, just soothe your injured ego with this:
Your dog probably knows more about a visitor in one good sniff than you could find out in a year.

Well my own two mutts, certainly don't smell of eau du cologne!
I'm going to have to look at them more closely now.
Actually, after reading this thread I may have to send them to Korea and get them on a dinner menu! ;-)

What does it say about me, the next time my neighbours dog wraps himself furiously around my leg and tries to hump it?

All meat eaters will roll in the poop of the animal they are hunting. It is the gilly suit of carnivores. The grass eaters don't notice a new smell closing in on them before it is too late.
I don't know why dogs roll in fish guts though.

Do they really?Yup. At least my retrievers did. They liked diapers, too.
To: TASMANIANRED
Your info is totally correct. re: man's best friend. They are always thinking of the welfare of the "pack", i.e. allowing a stranger to bring in disease etc. Great Post!

Trust me, worst stuff has been posted.
I think the article is fine, considering every family member of mine has had cancer. I want to see all the medical breakthroughs!!! Thanks for posting it.

It means you have divine eyes and you exude sexuality.

I'm not touching that one with a 12' Slovak, much less a 10' Pole. :-)
