Who Let The Dogs Out: These Curious Pets Facts Are Leaving a Paw Print in Our Hearts

Ok, dog owners, it’s time to admit that you have smelled your pup’s paws at least once in your life. We’re not here to judge. Instead, let’s talk a bit about what those paws smell like. If your answer to that question is Fritos, then you are not as crazy as you may have once thought.

Scientists have found that dog feet excrete specific types of bacteria that smell like corn tortillas and popcorn. I wouldn’t use that as an excuse to put your face on your dog’s paws, especially if you don’t know where they were stepping last. However, it’s safe to say that scent is a lot sweeter than that which comes from a human foot.
