My Nose

My mum thinks this is a great photograph of my nose.  She likes my nose because it is big and black and shiny.  She likes that I sneeze three times every morning.  My mum is sometimes strange.  But I like that she kisses me on the top of my muzzle behind my nose just before I eat every meal.  We love each other.

The uses of the nose include sniffing out biscuits (or other delicious bits of food), other animals, or the remains of other animals; pushing objects to invesitgate or move them; nose-poking to get the attention of the Airedale's human; and to assist in the digging process.

How does your Airedale use his or her nose? Do you notice a difference in the noses of the Airedales you've loved?
