How do dogs "see" with their noses?

Kia Ora everyone! For writing we have been learning about Information reports. And we have based it on how dogs can "see" with their noses. You must be thinking, yeah how do they see with their noses? Well it's obviously not literally but their nose is a really great feature in a dogs body. But besides that what we had to do first was watch a video explaining how dogs nose works and then we got put into buddies and we had to go and answer some questions about the video. I'll give you guys a quick fact, apparently dogs have 300 million smell cells and us humans only have 5 million smell cells. But after we answered the questions we had to make a dog planner planning out what we were going to write for our good copy. We also got to do the good copy with a buddy. We had to write an introduction, 3 main paragraphs and a summary paragraph for our good copy.

Something I enjoyed was getting to work with my buddy and putting both of our ideas together. Something I found difficult was thinking of what to write because both of our ideas kept running out slowly.

Here is our writing:

How do Dogs “see” with their noses?

Dogs have many different kinds of features but their nose is the best feature of all. Other species might have a great sense of smell but a dog’s sense of smell is quite different to others.

If you ever wonder how a dog’s nose works, inside there are two separate parts. One for smelling and the other for breathing. Their noses have many features that help it work. The part of their brain that helps them identify scents and smells is smarter and stronger than a human’s brain. Dogs can help us humans cause they can also tell if you have cancer or any type of sickness which is why they are better at smelling than us.

The dog's brain has a good memory. Once they smell something it gets stuck in their head, and if they ever come across it again they will know what it is. For example: If a car was in a parking lot and it just left then a dog will know that a car has been there cause they know the smell of a car, another example is that if a person was sitting next to a tree and just left then a dog came by then they will know that there has been a person there cause they know a smell of a person. Dogs are really smart when it comes to smelling different types of things. 

A dog’s nose can’t only smell, but can also sense different types of emotions and things. An example of this is when someone is feeling quite emotional and upset. A dog can sense their emotions through their smell by feeling and being familiar with the smell to know how someone is feeling. They can also identify an object or a thing by being able to smell it once and remembering the scent of it.

The amount of help they give through their noses for everyone and themselves is truly wonderful. Did you know that dogs have 300 million smell cells and humans only have 5 million? Dogs have many other amazing features about their noses and also different body parts too but the nose is definitely a feature that can help us and others. 

Hope you enjoyed!
