They can tell time

Aside from using their noses to sniff out scents, dogs also use their cutest body part as a watch. As Alexandra Horowitz, founder of Barnard College’s Dog Cognition Lab, told NPR, dogs use their sense of smell to tell what time it is.

“Smells in a room change as the day goes on,” she said. “If we were able to visualize the movement of air through the day, what we’re really visualizing is the movement of odor through the day… The dog, I think, can smell that through the movement of that air through the room.”
