Have you ever noticed your dog keeping his eyes on you while he poops? If you're a fan of science, you have probably always wondered why your pets stare at you while they're taking a dump.
Okay, maybe you've never thought about it but, now that we're on the topic, dog scientists (a.k.a. veterinarians) have figured out the reason WHY dogs stare at their owners while defecating.
According to Dr. Kathryn Primm, a practicing small animal veterinarian and practice owner at Applebrook Animal Hospital in Ooltewah, Tennessee, it's not because the dog's embarrassed.

Your dog is not wishing you would look away or give him privacy while he “does his business” either.
Dr. Primm says it goes much deeper than that…
