Lady runs for fresh water

A WATER HOUND

Lady loves fresh water. Nearly every time I pour fresh water into her bowl, she'll come running to get a long drink. Sometimes she'll even be snoozing in my wife's room, and she'll come running.

Maybe she's reacting to the sound of the water pouring, but I wonder if the smell of the fresh water (dogs have great noses, you know) has anything to do with it.

Do you know?
