So much so that their understanding of the world has an additional
dimension. On entering a room they can not only see who is there but
who was there up to a couple of days ago - they can scent map a
space. The world must look very different indeed to a dog. The
philosopher Nagel wrote on the world as understood by a bat but that
'seen' by a dog or rat would be equally strange to us.
