How weird is that?! I find it sort of difficult to believe really.
I read the actual study which is in that google list. They're obviously not mammals like that article, but I have seen the magnetic termite mounds in a couple of areas in my own country and that was really amazing to learn about. They looked like gravestones all perfectly aligned. |

Rosie poops East/West. Otherwise she's be in the middle of the road. And when in the yard, she goes along the East/West fence line.
She must get the non-conforming gene from the side that's not Lab.

. indicates such a solar storm is going on now. Solar phenomenon are not that uncommon, and there are many other factors that can affect/influence magnetic fields locally: electrical equipment, metal fences/structures, weather, geological features—just to name a few. Quote:

My dog does the walking in circles before he poops. He is the only dog I've ever had or seen do it. I always found it odd.
Im not sure how much I believe in what the article says, but it is interesting.

. . From observing dogs all my life, I tend to agree with the defensive position/fight or flight response theory. In both situations (pooping and lying down) dogs are at a defensive disadvantage—vulnerable to attack by predators/competitors. Dogs who can sense (smell) danger/trouble coming have just that slightest edge in defending themselves and/or staying alive in order to perpetuate the species. Doc
