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!

Dogs don’t really have a sense of taste. They aren’t particular like cats. Cats will always pass on dog food for cat food…because it actually has flavor

I knew about the trampling ground before they lay down but I did not know about them doing it before they poop now my next question is why does every Bulldog as soon as he’s done pooping run as fast as he can directly away from the poop what I called mr. Biggs Victory lap
