A stray dog who lost his nose after he accidentally caught it in a snare could soon be able to smell again thanks to surgeons who are planning to insert a specially designed implant into his snout . Parys , from Bialystok , Poland , will undergo surgery tomorrow in order to receive his new nose , which was designed by Polish company Ledo . The tube shaped implant - which was specially built for Parys following a CT scan - was invented by Dr Marcin Elgal from the Individual Medical Implants Technopark , after he heard of the dog 's plight . Parys ( pictured ) a stray dog from Bialystok , Poland , lost his nose after he accidentally caught it in a snare - but he could soon be able to smell again thanks to surgeons who will implant a chip in his snout tomorrow . The implant was specially designed for Parys by Dr Marcin Elgal ( pixtured ) from Individual Medical Implants . Veterinarians will insert the implant during surgery to reconstruct Parys ' nose tomorrow . He will then be sent home to recover with his new owner , Magdalena Smosarska , in Bialystok , and his new nose . It is hoped the implant will not only restore his sense of smell , but help reconstruct the shape of his nose which was left disfigured by the accident . Noses are particularly important to dogs as their brains are dominated by an olfactory cortex , boasting millions of smelling receptors which help them to survive . The implant for the dog 's new nose was designed and created ( process pictured ) by Polish company Ledo . It is hoped the implant will not only restore his sense of smell , but help reconstruct the shape of his nose . Parys with his new owner Magdalena Smosarska , in Bialystok , Poland today - the day before his surgery . While the human brain is dominated by a large visual cortex , dog 's brains are dominated by an olfactory cortex . The olfactory bulb in dogs is roughly forty times bigger than the olfactory bulb in humans . The average dog has 125 to 220 million smell-sensitive receptors . The bloodhound exceeds this standard with nearly 300 million receptors . It is estimated that dogs in general have an olfactory sense ranging from one hundred thousand to one million times more sensitive than a human 's . In some dog breeds , such as bloodhounds , the olfactory sense may be up to 100 million times greater than a human 's . A dog 's wet nose , or rhinarium , is essential for determining the direction of the air current containing the smell . The mucus on a dog ’ s nose helps capture scent particles - which is why they lick their dry noses , to recover this scent capturing . By smelling a drop of another dog 's urine , a dog can often determine the dog ’ s sex , diet , health , and emotional state . The implant will be used to reconstruct the former stray 's nose after he lost it in a snare . This small implant could change the stray dog 's life forever by returning his ability to smell again .
Parys the dog lost his nose after accidentally getting caught in snare . Stray dog was left without his sense of smell following the incident . Individual Medical Implants has designed a special implant that will help Parys sniff again . Parys - who now has a new owner - will undergo the surgery tomorrow .
