How are dogs so effective at recognizing other dogs?
When I take my dog in a walk, she reacts consistently to the sight of breeds that don't even resemble her (she's a labrador and immediately responds to pomeranians, German shepherds, etc.). However, if she sees something like a raccoon, she is immediately able to tell it's not a dog and starts growling. How do they do this?

Presumably they have enough traits in common to be easily classified as same species without putting much thought to it including smell which is distinctive enough to be often recognizable for humans who have much weaker sense of smell
Also I wouldn't say they're that good at recognizing their own species if they fuck wolves and stuff

My dog got through a closed door, then a locked door to knock over her food bowl. Woke up to a confusing fuckin mess and the dog in my room behind a closed door.
