All dogs are part bloodhound!!
Did any of you see "In the Womb" this last week on TV. It followed the development of three different animals from conception to birth and then some.
Anyway it said that dogs have 200 million scent sensors - we (humans) have 5 million.
We used to hide a hershey bar that had never been unwrapped to see if my pup could find it. Once we sat it on top of a picture frame - so, it was pretty high up - we let my pup in the room and she started sniffing around and before long she was on the sofa - trying to get up to the picture because she smelled the still-wrapped candy bar up there.
There is really nothing a dog can't find by smell - if they're looking for it.
