00:00Hey, dog lovers, welcome back to another episode of Simply Awesome Planet.
00:04Have you ever wondered just how keen your furry friend's sense of smell really is?
00:08Well, buckle up, because today I'm about to blow your mind with some unbelievable facts
00:13about a dog's nose.
00:15First off, let's talk numbers.
00:17Did you know that a dog's sense of smell is up to 100,000 times more acute than ours?
00:22That's right, folks.
00:23While humans have about 5 million scent receptors, dogs boast a whopping 300 million.
00:29Imagine being able to sniff out every single ingredient in your grandma's secret cookie
00:33recipe.
00:34Yeah, it's that intense.
00:37Now, let's get into some mind-blowing examples.
00:40Ever heard of medical detection dogs?
00:43These incredible pups can actually sniff out diseases like cancer, diabetes, and even COVID-19.
00:50Researchers have found that dogs can detect certain volatile organic compounds released
00:54by cancer cells.
00:56In studies, these amazing dogs have identified cancer with an accuracy rate of up to 98%.
01:03Talk about life-saving noses.
01:05And that's not all.
01:06Dogs are also used in search-and-rescue missions.
01:09After natural disasters like earthquakes or avalanches, specially trained rescue dogs
01:14can locate trapped victims under heaps of rubble.
01:17These super sniffers can detect human scent even from 40 feet underground.
01:22Their noses are literally their superpower.
01:25Let's not forget about bomb detection dogs.
01:28These brave canines are trained to sniff out explosives, helping to keep us safe in airports,
01:33public events, and more.
01:35One famous example is Cairo, a Belgian Malinois who was part of the Navy SEAL team that took
01:40down Osama bin Laden.
01:42Thanks to his incredible nose, lives were saved.
01:46But here's a fun fact you might not know.
01:48Dogs can even smell time.
01:50Yep, you heard that right.
01:52Your dog's nose can actually tell what time of day it is based on the scent patterns in
01:56your house.
01:57When you leave for work in the morning, your scent starts to fade, and your dog can track
02:01how long you've been gone.
02:03No wonder they always know when it's dinner time.
02:06So the next time you see your dog sniffing around, remember just how powerful that little
02:10nose is.
02:12It's not just for finding lost toys or sniffing fire hydrants.
02:15It's a finely-tuned, life-saving, time-tracking marvel.
