Buster's Nose

One day, I saw a man with his dog in a park. The man had a special whistle for his dog, but when the man blew into the whistle, I did not hear anything. I asked Mommy if the whistle that the man had was broken. Mommy told me that dogs have ears that can hear many more things than mine can. The whistle was not broken; it just made a very high noise that only the dog could hear.

Mommy also told me that God made dogs with very sensitive noses as well as ears. Dogs can be trained to smell many different things with their noses. When Buster was a puppy, we used to hide a piece of dog food and let Buster find it by smelling it with his nose. Mommy also said that many animals have eyes and ears that see and hear things that my eyes and ears cannot.
