We live outside city limits in central Texas. When we were caring for our son’s Beagle, he would regularly go walk-about, sometimes gone for hours. One day he came back looking more like a Basset Hound, and bearing fang marks from a rattlesnake on his forehead. Fortunately, he had received the Rattlesnake vaccine, and with veterinary care, he survived, but to this day he bears a scar on hit forehead looking curiously like the one that Harry Potter has.
The first Fred Basset cartoon I saw (years ago) was very like today’s. Fred was sniffing behind a hedge and the owner was calling and calling. Fred’s thought bubble said: “ah he has such a lovely voice. I will always know exactly where he is” Later when training dogs to come that line gave me insight. At the park I hid and made them find Me :)

It’s a dog thing to follow your nose where every it goes.

My Cat is that way. A whistle might get a glance but shake the treat pack and she runs. Dog’s nose on ground and she listened to the nose not the ear
