Dogs are much more sensitive to smell than you and
I. They can do many things that you and I can’t do. READ the story about a
dog’s achievement.
I’m a dog named Inspector. My owner, Emma, is a parker ranger.
Today a park visitor needed our help. He’s an inventor, so he creates things.
But his newest invention was missing! It was in a container shaped like a box.
I’m a great sniffer and follower of smells. They’re the clues
I follow. I sniffed the inventor and used my nose to follow his trail.
Soon I found the container under a bench. I always say, “The
nose knows.” The inventor rewarded me with his invention, stretchy dog treats.
