Why do domestic dogs possess an absolute love for sticking their entire heads out of moving car windows?
The moment I accelerate my car down the street my dog forces their face through the window gap closing their eyes against the wind but sniffing furiously. What sensory details are they experiencing?

A moving car window acts like a high-speed sensory stream for a canine's olfactory processing center. The fast wind blast forces millions of environmental scent molecules from miles away directly into their highly complex nasal cavity allowing them to construct a detailed geographical map of local surroundings.
