The human nose is not usually considered an asset. Most humans are more concerned with how our noses look than how they function, unless, that is, we’re plagued with sinus infections or have lost our sense of smell due to COVID.
While strange dogs will enthusiastically and unabashedly sniff each other when they first meet, we humans are more restrained. We may notice someone’s twinkling eyes or firm handshake. But we usually don’t take stock of their smell.
