A cattle dog can walk through a paddock of cows, and just by sniffing, know which cows are healthy and which are not, which ones are with child, and can tell you the name of each individual cow which created any one cowpat!

(Prove me wrong!)

Australian Kelpies - these have a telepathic link to their owners when the owner needs to round up sheep.
No verbal commands needed.

(Ditto)

A dog is a man's best friend.
(Second best, if the wife asks.)

On a serious note: Winter weather here is giving way to a hot spring/summer, so we have shifted our sniffing exercise walkies to earlier in the day.
Dog approves.
