"Dogs are renowned for their sense of smell. Estimates on how much better their olfactory system works than ours range from hundreds to as much as one million times as good. Thats because one third of the canine brain is devoted to olfaction and dogs have very sensitive detectors inside their noses for picking up scents".
Furthermore, some dogs throughout history have had the uncanny (uncaniney?) ability to foresee future events.
There was Fleabittus Muttus...the famous Italian greyhound -- a soothsayer in Nero's Rome (Nero fed him to lions in the Colosseum after he predicted Nero would get syphilis).
And who could forget Astrid the Alsatian, who sniffed out disastrous prophecy's for Hitler. Poor thing ended up in the Auschwitz pound.
And Sun Yun Pee-Pee, the inscrutable, pugnacious prognosticating Pekinese who pissed off Chairman Mao ze Dong. Poor Pee-Pee ended up as Dim Sum during the 1958 (Year of the Dog) New Year celebrations, after he tried to hump Mao's leg.
But...of course, as we all know, the most famous clairvoyant of them all was.... Nostrildoggus.

The crap "funny" names for the dogs alone make this worthy of a -2.
The rest of the post just drives the point home.

I'm unsure how I feel about dogs. I changed "dog" to "squirrel" and enjoyed it quite a bit thogh.
