What is really happening, Turin posited, is that the approximately 350 types of human smell receptors perform an act of quantum tunneling when a new odorant enters the nostril and reaches the olfactory nerve.

For humans approximately two - thirds of these receptors are no longer functional, possibly a consequence of the reduced importance of olfactory function for humans as compared to rodents or dogs, for example.

While the front part of a dog's nose is almost entirely committed to respiration, the rest is committed to olfaction — the sense of smell — and since there are hundreds of millions more olfactory receptors in a dog's nose compared to a human's nose, a dog is able to smell more and detect a scent in much smaller quantities: «This means two things: A dog definitely experiences smells, odors — volatile molecules — that we don't,» Alexandra Horowitz, assistant professor at Barnard College and author of Inside of a Dog, told Modern Farmer.
