It's because they sometimes feel enclosed when in a car, and by sticking their heads out the window they're getting air. I didn't make that up. A vet told me that. He might have been making it up.

WHY NOT or IT IS FUN Dogs sense of smell is much more sensitive then a persons sense of smell. Dogs get a great deal of information about the world through their smellers (but I don't think they know how bad their farts smell, or they do, and they just enjoy the smell)lol That being said, watch your dog while walking, all of a sudden they will veer off with their nose to ground following another scent. Or think about hunting, tracking, or drug/bomb/cadaver sniffing dogs. They are trained to use their sense of smell. So the dog nose out the window may just be a way of discovering/enjoying the world around them Or, they just like the feel of the wind in their faces.. I do know that when we get with a mile of our property the dogs perk up, it is as if they know we are almost home.

I heard that it was like CCJPO said. It is to a dog's nose like a kaleidoscope is to our eyes.

Nope. It was William Tecumseh Sherman.
