'Dogs'
It is well known that dogs are color-blind, and recognize only black and white. Their sense of smell is a thousand times stronger than a human’s. Dogs have a map in their brain for their sense of smell and act in accordance with it. Therefore dogs don’t react to things that don’t smell and don’t recognize anything outside of this map. Dogs can only judge their own territory.

Well, how about us human beings? The function of our sense of smell aside, let's think about our point of view. Can we see things around us clearly? Don't we see things from only one side or in a narrow view? We should think hard about this. In everyday life, we might be judging things through a narrow mindset.

Wisely, dogs can detect people who love them. They have been used for caring for elderly people who are suffering from dementia. We call them ‘therapy dogs’. Dogs have always maintained a good relationship with people, as we can see from the relationship between a guide dog and its owner. They will be required to help us in our lives much more in the future.
