An Adorable Reddit Thread Proves That Dogs Have The Most Amazing Scent In The World
Dogs, as we all know, have incredible senses of smell. They love to approach us and sniff our butts and groins, or really any area that is covered with our distinctive scent, but it is inappropriate to do so in public.

What about the reverse, though? Raised your hand if you’ve ever sneaked and stolen a long, sweet smell from your dog after work and experienced immediate comfort and peace.
You are not alone if you raised your hand. And if you didn’t, then you need to try it because you're seriously missing out!
What do people experience when they inhale a strong, prolonged whiff of their preferred dog (or kitten) scent? It turns out that there are a lot of things.
Getting a good smell from your dog or cat can be really comforting. If you enjoy smelling your dog's ears and scalp, it's possible that you're picking up on the pheromones intended to attract other animals to your dog, which would make perfect sense.
For the redditor in today’s story, their dog has an amazing scent in the area between her eyes on the forehead, top of head, and ears whenever they are cuddling up with her. The OP also went further to add that they don’t recall noticing this scent with their other dogs.
So the OP posted this on the r/dogs subreddit page just to get their opinions.
Here is where it all begins...
And here is the edit the OP added later on

Because of their extraordinary sense of smell, dogs are able to detect anything from cadavers to bombs to cancer. The knowledge a dog can learn from a good whiff of a human body is therefore quite valuable.
But then, we too get our own scent of them and bask in them. Can you relate to this as well?
