What is a dog’s most highly developed sense?

## Answers

### Answer by Vishal Kesarwani

## "Smell"

**"The sense of smell** is extremely totally different between dogs and folks. The share of the dog's brain that's dedicated to analyzing smells is **forty times larger** than that of a human! It has **been calculable** that dogs will determine smells somewhere between **1,000 to 10,000** times higher than humans!"

If we see some reports we will find that **both humans and dogs** and have similar senses seeing, hearing and smelling. Human generally makes a communication by seeing, hearing and then smelling, however, the dogs first smell and then communicate just **vice-versa.** Dogs also **have a special universal sense** which we humans don’t have with which they can **feel someone** around them.
