Reply to comment by mullman911 in TIL Why Dog Paws Smell Like Fritos. Even the cleanest, healthiest pooch has trillions of bacteria and fungi living on their skin. That yeasty, corn chip smell is actually a normal byproduct of harmless bacteria, usually Proteus or Pseudomonas, both of which are naturally present in our environment. by Rossknight65

Because my dog shoved his paws against me with as much force as he can muster when I rub his tummy. Often against my arm, sometimes against my chest, sometimes right in my face. Once or twice right on the nose. I often won’t move him right away because I think it’s funny, but the paw to the nose has to get moved because of the Fritos.
