	Discriminating Eaters

Dogs may not have as many taste buds as we do, they have 1,700 on their tongues while we humans have about 9,000, but that doesn't mean they're not discriminating eaters. They have over 200 million scent receptors in their noses, we have only 5 million, so it's important that their food smells good and tastes good.

Color Blind or Not

The common belief that dogs are color blind is false. Dogs can see color, but it is not as vivid a color scheme as we see. They distinguish betweeen blue, yellow, and gray, but probably do not see red and green. This is much like our vision at twilight.
