It doesn't seem plausible over such a distance. And the dog sat upright immediately as my friend exited the building - no time for a scent to drift over, even in a high wind (it was a calm day).
- boomboomsubban 4y agoDogs have really good noses and the difference of air pressure between the store and outside could make a scent move far faster than you'd think. I'd see scent as far more plausible than psychic powers at least.
- karmakurtisaani 4y agoI mentioned this in another comment, but one explanation could be that the person in the car started to smell different due to seeing his friend. Pheromones from subtle excitement.
- fractallyte 4y agoRight! I can't refute that. I wouldn't have thought of it, and that's why it's important to have other eyes on descriptions of these phenomena. Furthermore, this is something we can measure, and hypothesize, and predict - Science.
- karmakurtisaani 4y agoThis discussion got me thinking about all the pheromones we emit, but can't really sense anymore. I wonder what sort of information are we constantly spreading that essentially no one is picking up. Or maybe we are, but only on a very subconscious level.
