Even if humans could gather this information, our
brains wouldn't know what to do with it: the
dog olfactory cortex, which
processes scent information, takes up 12.5 per cent of their total
brain mass, while ours accounts for less than 1 per cent.

It hides in tofu
dogs under aliases such as textured vegetable protein, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and lecithin — which is troubling, since the
