I mean, can they really tell one person from another? Do they remember people, or are we all just big bags of food to them?

I don't mean that they want to eat us, only that they only see us as things that give them food.

Heres an incident. One day a dog ran out from his house and was caught by someone else.. and the dog live in the house for 5 years! Accidentally, the dog ran out of the house... and u know where he went! He went to the house of his first owner and he is still there now! dogs have a great memory! We are never big bags of food! we are everything for them IF they are evrything for us.. Give love and take love! LLike give respect and take respect! Dogs are really faithful!

They are very smart and very social, beside of having a highly developed sense of smell: they can recognize people by their scent (plus hundreds of other chemicals) and that's why they are so important in different rescue teams, anti-bomb squads, narcotic search in airports, etc. They can detect sugar blood levels in diabetic patients and some people believe they can even detect cancer, all with their mighty nose and a lot of training.
Not all dog breeds are equally trainable though, different breeds were created for different purposes and some perform better than others at different tasks.

Yes, dogs are very smart. They know people by how they smell. Dogs use their sense of smell for everything. That's why when you approach a dog, he always will smell you, he's making a mental note of your scent, and if you see him again, he'll match you to the smell he remembers.

dogs are really smart, and they tell the difference in people by how they smell, thats why when you go around a new dog they smell you up, they are trying to figure out if they know you........ if they thought everyone was food, they would bite everyone, which they dont

I think the same thing sometimes, I wonder if they lick us because we taste good to them? Our skin releases sweat which is salty, and could probably taste good to a dog. But I think they know different people because my dogs are scared of people they don't know, but jump all over me when I come home.

first of all do you have a dog?......sounds like you have never been close to a dog, as a compaion......yes they are very smart... but you have to be with them, bond with them,and teach the baisc of obiedence to them. without curlety,if your not bonding with a dog, then you really should not have one.
