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 guess you could say the study was dogshit.
“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.
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?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!
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.
Literally the shittiest compass ever
It’s a called dumpass.
