"My dog has no nose."/"How does he smell?"/"Terrible!"

Note this doesn't work with eyes and look, though.

Ah, so we have just invoked a difference between "see" and "look" which doesn't have an equivalent in "smell." "Look" could do double duty this way, but that's not exactly the way we describe what the eyes do.

It's (look vs. see) not the difference between active and passive, or transitive and intransitive - does it have a name?
