Puppies
Eyesight Most dogs’ eyes are set wide apart which gives the best field of vision. They are very good at picking up the slightest movement—even from a distance—but are less able to focus on detail. Dogs see better than people in the dark, but they are not so sensitive to colors. It is thought that dogs see in a range of purples, violets, and yellows. Scenting ability Dogs have an amazing sense of smell—about a thousand times better than a human’s. Dogs use their scenting ability to follow tracks of other animals, and also to pick up information from other dogs that have passed through the area and left their mark by urinating or defecating. Hearing Dogs have a superior sense of hearing and can pick up sounds that are four times farther away than we can. Dogs can use one ear at a time or both at the same time.
