Answers:
Q1: What percentage of a dog’s brain is devoted to smell?
Answer: D. 40%
Dogs are sniffing geniuses! Around 40% of a dog’s brain is dedicated to analyzing smells — compared to just 5% in humans. No wonder they know when you’ve opened a bag of treats from three rooms away.
Q2: Which dog breed is known for having a “smile”?
Answer: B. Samoyed
Samoyeds are famous for their signature “Sammy smile” — a natural upturned mouth that makes them look like they’re always grinning. It’s not just cute, it also prevents drool from freezing in cold weather. Smart and stylish.
Q3: How many hours a day does the average dog sleep?
Answer: D. 14
Living the dream. Most dogs sleep around 12–14 hours a day, and puppies or senior dogs often need even more. They take their nap game seriously — and honestly, we respect it.
Q4: What’s a dog’s most powerful sense?
Answer: C. Smell
While dogs have impressive hearing and decent vision, their sense of smell is their true superpower. They can detect scents at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans. That’s why they’re so good at search-and-rescue, sniffing out contraband, or tracking your dropped snack under the couch.
Q5: What breed is known as the “Einstein of dogs”?
Answer: B. Border Collie
Border Collies top the charts for canine intelligence. They’re problem solvers, quick learners, and champions at agility and herding. One famous collie named Chaser even learnt over 1,000 words.
