I have an animal companion with a fairly high perception score naturally (Trex). I was wondering what can he really use that perception for? For us characters certainly we can convey to each other what we hear etc through making a successful perception check. But in the case of my Trex what can his high perception do for our group? For the record he has a 3 int.

Look up the animal trick seek and detect.
Seek (DC 15) The animal moves into an area and looks around for anything that is obviously alive or animate.
Detect (DC 25): The animal is trained to seek out the smells of explosives and poisons, unusual noises or echoes, air currents, and other common elements signifying potential dangers or secret passages. When commanded, the animal uses its Perception skill to try to pinpoint the source of anything that strikes it as unusual about a room or location. Note that because the animal is not intelligent, any number of strange mechanisms, doors, scents, or unfamiliar objects may catch the animal‘s attention, and it cannot attempt the same Perception check more than once in this way.
