The article itself is over a decade old and based on questionable data gathering and a faulty analysis processes. If you read the article they published they essentially didn’t find anything, determined without providing evidence that other factors couldn’t be a determining factor, and then data-dredging when they could find anything statistically significant to match their hypothesis.
SkeptVet article explaining the findings in detail.
Basically it was just shitty science.
I mean my dog could be an exception but she shits always in the direction we walk. No exceptions.
I guess you could say the study was dogshit.
Studies like this have me confused.
How do we know they use the magnetic field, and don’t just like… Look at the sun, or the shadows it casts.
You can put magnets near dogs.
There’s also this thing called “indoors”
I dont think there are many scenarios where a dog frequently shits inside a human dwelling. It is a valid point though, perhaps they tested that too (dogshit smells in an enclosed space, gotta envy those researchers)
The text in the picture literally explains it’s in a free roaming environment not influenced by walls or doors.
Walls and doors don’t stop existing when you walk outside lol, big buildings exist
Dogs still poop when they’re inside
Dogs can poop at night…
“what do you do for work?”
“I watch dogs poop”Still more useful than most office jobs.
And less shit to deal with.
So when you’re lost, just find a pooping dog to know where the North is. Or the south.
Wait this is useless.

Don’t know about that… I’ve got 54 dogs and they shit in all directions.
Your house must fuckin stink mate
I think it’s a farm at that point, and yea farms stink.
Not really, only 4b love inside. Those shit outside:)
I’m amazed. I am also amazed that someone was paid to observe dogs defecating in the wild.
Congratulations! You have now subscribed to #DogPoopPics!
Someone asked to be paid to observe dogs defecating.
I just got a new puppy and when she poops she starts facing one directing the turns 180 while pooping then scoots over to the side a bit to finish.
Is she broken? Should I do an RMA?Might just need to be calibrated, try turning her in a figure eight in front of you a few times before the next poop and see if she aligns.
“Before” is the key word here. Trying to align a puppy during the poop is not recommended.
Have you tried just restarting it?
My 5 year old dog spins when she poos. Picking up her poo requires me to check the area she was in, as there are usually 3-4 spots it landed. But unleashed, she’s fine.The vet tells me this might be harness related. Something about the restraining leash and harness makes her spin.
But now I have a morbid curiosity to see if she starts north or south.
This is some real shit
It’s a called dumpass.
