Affirmative...a meaningless FYI...when wolves are following a moose yard in the winter they'll smell the tree buds where moose have snipped them off when grazing for any hint of tooth abscess which indicates that the moose is sick and the weakest, the pack will follow the yard scoping out the sick animal and then direct the yard onto a frozen lake or a clearing....they'll sniff the air and pinpoint their prey. Animals wild and domestic have amazingly superior senses....also, I have a dozen bears that call my place home with 4 of them personally raised by my wife and I, actually they're closer to the wife because she spoils them, but, I've been living with wildlife all my life, hunting, trapping, companion, and what wildlife is capable of doing with their nose is more than I think most people know. Getting back to my bears I can tell when they pick up a scent of another bear, a dog or coyotes (coyotes will pack up on a bear) or a human, every different scent triggers a different reaction and I learned that just in the last 40years, previous to that I was just too young to be interested in animal psychology....operating a trap line from 1980 - 1985 really opened my eyes as to what I was dealing with matching my wit against the wild. I even raised a mountain lion and that really taught me a lot, her name was Ritz, she was 140lbs and just passed away 4 years ago, she was 31years old. Talk about sense of smell, she would sit on the hill in the bush in the back property and stare in a direction for about a half hour or little more, her eyes would squint closed and her wiskers would frequently fold back indicating that a deer or multiple deer were coming our way...eventually the deer come right out into the field 1/4 mile away, she would pick up the scent from deer that were at least miles from her. Just thought I'd share that with you.
