O.M.G. How in the world?! We know dogs have a great sense of smell, but this is on another level. He knew where to go immediately. He followed that scent like it was his job. It's no wonder the clip has quickly gone viral with over 5.4 million views within the first day of being posted.
"I know this is what they’re bred to do but it is just so fascinating and equally as precious," said @dobermanriot. Right?! We'd suspect most people know Bloodhounds are known for their sense of smell, but seeing it put to action is truly remarkable. We bet this dog would be able to find his mom even miles away.
Bloodhounds are the dog breed with the best sense of smell. There's no question about it. But did you know it's their floppy ears that help with their noses? It's true! Their ears waft scents from the earth up to their noses as they track. Then their heavy folds of skin can trap those scents. Wow! They have the most olfactory sensors of any dog breed, with about 300 million scent receptors. The more you know!
