ABSTRACT

How consciously do humans and dogs respond to sensory information? The dog’s nasal structure and olfactory ability to detect, identify, and differentiate, are contrasted with the weak sense of smell but chiefly acute senses of sight and hearing cultivated in human perception. Hypo-unaware individuals with Type 1 diabetes, whose vision may be impaired or their hearing affected by contiguous autoimmune illnesses, become reliant on canine odour detection and the dog’s social competencies to progress their lives. Comparisons are made among multispecies macrosmatic and microsmatic sniffers, highlighting employment opportunities now available to nonhuman sentient scent detectives.
