I wonder a lot about this stuff.
They may be able to smell some things; but they may sense other things in different ways.
There have long been stories about animals acting strangely long before earthquakes, for instance.
Everything that lives vibrates to some extent, and even some things that we don’t consider ‘living’ do.
Maybe the doggies sense vibrations on levels that we just don’t understand.
That may seem silly; but I think it’s sorta ‘scientifical’ :-)
A few of my dogs would have epileptic-type seizures, but the signs were only visible seconds before they’d flop over. I suspect dogs would detect a certain behavior—maybe odor—IDK.
Hmm.
Well, if the latest theory regarding covid actually being synthesized reptile venom peptides being spread as a bioweapon, and dogs already being able to smell cancer, dead bodies, and blood sugar changes, it seems no great leap for dogs to detect envenomation products circulating in living beings.
“A virus so small you can only see it with an electron microscope and a dog can tell the difference”
The virus is tiny, but a smoke particle is comparable in size and has an odor.
I suspect it’s not the odor of the virus, but the body’s reaction to the infection that is being detected.
Yahoo! is a news aggregation site, similar to MSN or Google News. Very, very little is actually original Yahoo! article. They do curate the content, so there's definitely bias. But the biased writing coffee from elsewhere.
The actual source of this is The Independent, a tabloid paper from Great Britain.
If you're flying to Europe any time soon, you may expect to start seeing these dogs, but America is probably a long way off.
On the other hand, Singapore has a covid breathalyzer. Go figure.
Ears and nose are way more sensitive than ours. I’d bet they can feel more than us too
Like I said. They should have to prove it using irrefutable scientific methods. Until they do then there is no reason to take them seriously.
One of the cruelest things humans have done - albeit in many cases ignorantly - is to believe that animals are somehow less sensitive to physical and emotional pain than we are.
Hi.
Did you see post nineteen?
I’m getting creative in my old age.
5.56mm
That is true.
Since it’s bias curating bias, would that be recursive bias or exponential bias?
Out of the blue, a friend sent an article regarding an 8-pound Dachshund (my favorite breed) as a cadaver dog (among a few other related articles).

The first dog I knew and loved was a long-hair Dachshund.
Very sweet dog.
