You know how humans are often told to stop and smell the roses? I wonder if some canine king of the world told dogs to stop and smell the tree trunks of every urine-doused tree because that's what they do! I go for a nature walk and my dog believes he's in a piss-sniffing competition. I guess either way, we both come home a little happier, even if our reasons for feeling that way are very different.
