Most dogs have poor eyesight. But it is more than compensated by their superb smelling and hearing
abilities.
A Dachshund has about 125 million sensitive cells in its nose. A man has merely 5 million cells.
A German Shepherd (Alsatian) has 220 million cells. These cells multiply the effectiveness to million
times better than a man’s smelling ability.
Experiments conducted with skilled tracker dogs revealed a strange fact.
Even the most accomplished dog could not differentiate the smells of identical twins from each other’s!
Dogs have superb hearing abilities too. They can hear frequencies up to 40,000 where as man’s range is
less than 20,000.
No wonder man is unable to hear the sound of a dog whistle.
