Golden Retriever sees mother again after years: "Smell memory" can help
But can dogs really recognize each other even after years?
Yes, it is possible, through their "olfactory memory".
However, a few factors are crucial for this.
On the one hand, the longer the family was together, the better they memorize the smell of their mother and siblings.
On the other hand, the time when the four-legged friends meet again is crucial.
