A Field Needing Serious Study

[Whateverist]

Because it smells, which is a bit aggressive on the nose, perhaps?

But for dogs whose sense of smell is off the charts stronger than our own, they love strong smells. Hell they'll rub in it to coat themselves with smell much stronger than farts. They don't seem the least bit apprehensive about sticking their nose into anything. No fear of repulsion.

By comparison we're like toddlers told to try something new to eat. We start by screwing our faces up, holding our noses and fighting the gag reflex .. all before we've even tasted one bit.
