My grand mother had one of that type of door bell that h**ed men in uniform. When the Mail Man came it went nuts. My Dad was a cop and I remember him picking my siblings and myself up from my grand parents and he showed up in uniform. The door bell tried to k**l my father. When he took off the uniform the door bell loved him.

Unfortunately there are a lot of humans that react to uniforms the same as your grand parent's doorbell. Your post raises more questions: I thought dogs (door bells) identified by way of smell, was I wrong? The love from dogs (door bells) is undying. Is this also not the case? Quit adding questions to my tired brain. I must have 100 questions per answer. That doesn't say much for many long years of observation. Is there any t***h to anything any more? One wonders.
I've got 7 of those....................some of them are faulty and go off for no reason at all.
They look ready and willing 😄

Of course certain breeds are nose hounds and some are sight hounds. As I remember my grandmother's door bell was a mongrel, but he looked like a miniature greyhound. Greyhounds are sight hounds. They are amazing . I have observed my neighbor's greyhound visually lock onto squirrels and rabbits that I had missed.
I also had basset hounds growing up, who are most certainly nose hounds. Their eye sight is poor.

So you are saying dogs are different from one another just as humans are? I can believe that.

No not really. You are mixing up personality and intelligence with the inbred differences of canines. Human beings vary very little physically. Not like breeds of dogs. Think if humans were intentionally bred for speed, size, eye sight, hearing, and strength. We humans are basically sight monkeys. Our hearing and sense of smell are far less keen than our eyesight.
Dogs were bred over thousands of generations for various jobs. Hunting is the most obvious. Hounds were bred for scent. Speed and eyesight were sacrificed for tracking by scent. Animals that are bred for speed or chasing need better eyesight.
Of course you could bring up a glaring contradiction in my theory. If humans are sight oriented, then why are we so pitifully slow compared to most other animals our size. The answer I say is our large brains. Most animals who are scent oriented are less intelligent than sight oriented aminals.
