There are multiple reasons why a dog is a “man’s best friend”. They are very sensitive, caring and loyal to humans and they love us without hesitation. Their ability to read situations and body language, as well as sense emotions is incomparable to any other domestic animal.
Pet owners know that dogs have an extraordinary sense of smell. But not all of us know what dogs can actually smell. Their sense of smell is capable of revealing situations and motives.
Below are just few of the things that your dog can determine from you when they use their powerful sense of smell:
What you actually feel
Your dog will know if you are happy, sad or angry. They can sense it through your body language and the tone of your voice. The scent you give off changes depending on how you feel, too. Your pet can recognize the changes from your emotionally controlled hormones and determine your current mood.
If you are expecting a baby
Dogs act strangely when their owners are pregnant.They can distinguish emotions from the hormonal imbalance that we have. They can easily recognize a mother’s child-bearing hormones.
If you are sick, and the cause of the sickness
Dogs can determine if you are sick just by smelling your scent. They will know if you have colds or other complicated illnesses. By just using their sense of smell, they will know if you have urinary tract infection or blood in your sugar. If you notice that they are smelling a particular part of your body for a long time, this can be a sign that something is wrong in that area. The best thing you can do is to go to your doctor and have it checked.
If you are in danger
When we are fearful, our dogs can sense it. They will also know if we are nervous and they will protect us if needed.
When you like or dislike someone
Dogs are very accustomed to their owner’s feelings. They will know if we like or dislike someone we just met by the hormones that are emitted from our bodies. These hormones are dependent on what we feel towards the person we are speaking with. Dogs can recognize these hormones and they will know what you really feel about the person that you’re with.
If you are generous or selfish
Dogs can differentiate if a person is demonstrating generosity or selfishness. They naturally approach nicer humans.
What your real intentions are
Your dog will definitely know if your intentions are good or bad. It is very impressive to know that your dog knows if they are going to the vet or to the grooming salon. They are as intelligent as a 2-year-old kid. Dogs also pay attention to the people and the things we look at. The way we look at the people and the things around us will help the dogs know about our deep thoughts. Dogs can also sense the changes in our energy, and will pick up on it to analyze the situation.
