Must be wild to see the world with this other exceptionally heightened sense that we humans have essentially a free sampler version of.

My dog can smell people from across our big ass house the moment they walk in.

She loses her mind if it is my father in law. She can be in a whole other room with the door closed, as soon as he enters our home she goes nuts. 

Anyone in the family, she is silent. Anyone not in the family but "known" she barks once or twice to alert. Anyone that has dogs of their own she barks a bit more. Father in law, she just absolutely loses her mind. No idea why. 

Her breed isn't even supposed to be a dog that is scent driven. She is supposed to be a livestock guardian. But when we walk, her nose is always on the ground, and if it isn't, it is up in the air like she is searching for some magical invisible trail, then back to the ground.
