Dog's sniffers

The olfactory bulb in dogs is roughly forty times bigger than the olfactory bulb in humans, relative to total brain size, with 125 to 220 million smell-sensitive receptors.[84] The bloodhound exceeds this standard with nearly 300 million receptors.[84] Dogs can discriminate odors at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans can. ref-wikipedia
