우리 탄이는 아침 7시 정각이면 사료 접시 앞에서 준비하고 기다린다.
우리 탄이 배꼽에 시계가 달려 있는게 분명하다..ㅎㅎ
미국의 명문여대 '버나드 칼리지'의 동물 심리학 연구팀은 개들이 시간에 따라 달라지는 공기의 냄새를 맡고 이를 통해 시간의 흐름을 인지한다는 논문을 발표했다.
놀라운 것은 채광이 되지 않는 실내에 있을 때도 아침, 점심, 저녁! 시간에 따라 달라지는 온도 변화를 창과 문틈으로 들어오는 공기의 냄새를 맡아 알아낸다고 한다.
사람이 온도 차를 코로 느끼는 것과 같은 원리로 개들은 사람과 달리 온도뿐 아니라 시간의 미묘한 변화까지 알 수 있다는 거다.
Can dogs tell the time with their NOSES? Changes in scent may help canines keep track of passing hours
A canine expert believes it enables them to tell time, too.
Alexandra Horowitz, founder of Barnard College’s Dog Cognition Lab, recently spoke to NPR about a dog’s sense of smell, the focus of her book Being a Dog, which was released this week. Many observant owners can confirm that their pets seem to sense when their owner is about to arrive home, for instance, or when it’s time for bed.
Horowitz believes dogs are actually able to use their keen sense of smell to determine what time of day it is:
Smells in a room change as the day goes on. Hot air rises, and it usually rises in currents along the walls and will rise to the ceiling and go kind of to the center of the room and drop. 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.
Dogs can also tell who has visited a particular spot by the scent left behind. But Horowitz postulates that they’re also able to determine how long ago that person or dog was there based on the intensity of the scent. Furthermore, they can detect what’s coming. “The future, in a way, is smelled on a breeze from up ahead or around the corner,” she explains.
Because of this innate ability, Horowitz urges owners to embrace the “smell walk” rather than pulling pets away from objects they’d like to sniff. After all, it’s their way of “seeing” and understanding the world.
Dogs have long been know to pick up scents that humans can't, but they may also be able to tell the time using their snouts. 'As each day wears a new smell, its hours mark changes in odors that your dog can notice,' explains Professor Alexandra Horowitz

- Dogs have long been known to have an extraordinary sense of small
- Expert backs up claim that 'dogs smell time' in new book
- While for most humans, the world is primarily visual, for dogs, their world is based on scents
