Wet noses are one of those things that makes a dog, a dog. It's right up there with panting, wagging their tails, and barking. But scientifically speaking - it's what helps enhance their extremely strong sense of smell. Moisture makes an extraordinary difference with your receptors inside your nostrils (I learned this back in 6th grade camp). Go ahead and try it: lick your finger (or run it under a faucet) and pick your nose...you'll pick up smells that you would've have noticed normally.
As a perfectly healthy pup - Apollo's nose is usually at the appropriate level of wetness. And as a nosy dog (hah - pun intended) who likes to take in everything surrounding him, he tends to poke his head all over to make sure the status quo pleases him. Such "poking" usually results in messy windows in my living room that looks down eight floors onto the city streets. These messy blurs and unusual (but familiar to most dog owners) blotches also appear on my car's passenger side window.
What can I say - regardless of where he is, Apollo likes to get right up to windows to see if there's something interesting on the other side.
