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 GSD doesn’t spin. So the question does not apply. I am sure many other dogs don’t “spin”.

My male terrier dog does a line dance -back and forth, back and forth and gets a bit frantic about it. The female mix curls up and has fallen over. They are their own comedy routine.
