Why Dogs Do The Weird Things That They Do

6. Why Dogs Stick Their Heads Out of Car Windows

Ever wondered why dogs like to stick their heads out of car windows? Well, it turns out that wind blowing into their faces feels really good. Who knew!

Well, researchers and scientists still don’t have a definitive answer to this question, but one prevalent explanation actually has very little to do with the way the wind feels on the dogs’ faces.

You see, if most people’s primary sense is sight, most dogs perceive the world through smell.

Dogs’ noses are about as big as a handkerchief, and they can smell better than most people. When dogs stick their head out the window of a car, they can smell everything in the world around them because of all of the air rushing into their nose.
