He found that they breathe in cool air, exhaling it as warm air, and this exhaled air is diverted away from the object they are sniffing. Dogs exhale through the side slits of their noses, so the exhaled air can be directed away from what the dog is sniffing. The scent can thus be separated from the air exhaled by the dog, while new air is pulls across the object, which makes odour molecules rise in the air.
Dogs alter the shapes of their noses on inhaling, so as to be able to inhale large amounts of air.
Settles carred out his research following a request by the military. This finding could help with developing mechanical dogs to locate landmines. Tecumseh Fitch from Harvard, Massachusetts, and Tobias Riede from Humboldt University, Germany, have measured growl frequency patterns for 21 breeds. Dogs may assess each other's strength using this information. Dogs show a similar attachment to their owners as human infants show to their mothers.
