How Do Dogs Drink Water?

In summary, the physical process of a dog drinking water involves inserting their head into a water bowl and swallowing. This mechanism is common among dogs and can be observed in the Secret Life of Dogs clip featuring an Alsatian dog. The conversation also touches on the topic of scent detection, which is currently the best technology for detecting narcotics and bombs. However, there is a lack of quantitative studies on scent physics and the demand for these dogs far outweighs the supply. Rats have been used as an alternative in some cases. The conversation ends on a lighthearted note about the love for puppies.

If they're anything like the dogs I've been around, the mechanism is, "insert half of head into water bowl and swallow".

I think I've seen this before, so I refrained from answering.

Off topic but the physics of scent detection is based mainly on myth, experience and BS. A quantitative study to my knowledge has never been performed apart from macro field trials.

For those that don't know scent detection is the best technology available for narc and bombs. The demand vastly outstrips supply around the world. Rats have been used to try fill the gap and work well for some apps.

Sorry I own nose and security dogs couldn't help myself.

Would love to read a paper one day on scent physics, I think aerosol physics might be the way in.

Puppies are awesome. Puppies.
