insert your own answer, poo, grass,etc.
My friend's dog loves to roll in coyote poop! Why does she want to roll in it? Many dogs roll in the grass, or snow, but coyote poop? smh...
the other night Max threw up on the driveway then proceeded to rub his face in the adjacent dried up grass. At first I thought he was just rubbing his mouth after puking but then he decided to rub his whole body. Only other time he rolls in grass is when he's wet from a bath. It must have to do with instinctual survival skills?
Any ideas anybody?

Re: why do dogs roll in_______?
I've often wondered that.
Jasper doesn't roll in stinky things, thank goodness, but when he gets excited he rubs his face in the earth and sometimes goes for a full body-rub. He doesn't roll as such, just rubs his sides, probably because he's very narrow with a deep chest.

Nobody knows, but there are a few theories (that don't stand close scrutiny ).
We can safely say they do it because it's nice (to them) but why it's nice......?

A dog is never bad or naughty - it is simply being a dog

Scout found half a coconut shell in the field the other night (???) and rolled in it like it was the best thing she'd ever found. I say 'in'.. over and around really. Strange dog!

Yes this has always interested me. The girl does it (fox and some cow poo) but the boy only did it when he was an adolescent. He doesn't do it now - ever.
It's very strange.
