Question
Have you seen a dog sniffing here and there? What do you think it is trying to smell?
Solution
Yes, I have seen a dog sniffing here and there. A dog can make out the presence of another dog in the area by smelling its urine or feces. The dog usually smells to find out if a new dog has come into the area.
