I'm curious as I've seen this touched on briefly in some other threads here. Am I correct on this breakdown:
Sight - dogs are color blind, but some breeds (like sighthounds) can see better than the average human.
Hearing - Dogs can hear frequencies above what humans can hear and are more sensitive to sound than humans are.
Smell - Obviously, any dog can smell much better than we can. Some dogs are better sniffers than others.
Touch - Same as humans pretty much.
Taste - Again, I think it's the same as humans, but given that touch and taste are related it might be heightened compared to us?
Is that a fair assessment or am I off somewhere? I'm sure I am and someone here will correct me.
