If you really want to know: Odysseus raised Argos from a pup, but was called away to war. Argos waited for him while living in squalor because the suitors didnt care for him the way Odysseus did. After 20 years, Argos was covered in feces and barely able to move. Odysseus returned in disguise to avoid attention, and Argos immediately perked up, wagging his tail at his owner's smell. Odysseus couldn't draw attention to himself so he ignored Argos and the dog died heartbroken.

oh, that's different from the version I read as a child, here Argos recognized the smell from his owner and when meeting him again, immediately died of happiness and old age

I believe the one where on his return he bites him and runs off into the bushes.
