Why Do Dogs Spin Before They Poop? You NEED To See Why…

by pawbuzz on in Dogs, Popular 652

Have you ever noticed how dogs sometimes walk in circles before sleeping or going to the bathroom?

I always thought it had to do with them being very careful about where they mark their territory, but according to the following video from Discovery, there’s a lot more to those circle turns.

It turns out that it not only has to do with some hygiene and territorial instincts that dogs have when they're in the wild, but also has to do with the Earth's magnetic field…

…which is crazy, and Anthony Carboni from DNews is here to tell you all about it.

Check out the video on the next page to find out why dogs spin before they poop!

    My dog loo tks just like the dog pictured above. He has a unique way of pooping. He backs up to a tree and pushes against it. When he’s finished, he pushes his rear along the ground, apparently to clean himself off.

    Seriously? 149 people have shared this “scientific research article”? Hahahahaha. Unless the dogs responded to a survey with their own candid answers, how can you possibly know for sure why they do what they do? Oh yeahh…you can’t.
