This morning I let Hayden out to do his business and he found a dead mole in the yard and started rolling on it! I was so grossed out and have no idea why he would do this! Does it smell good to them? Does anyone else's dog roll in yucky stuff too?

Smells good to them. I'm actually too embarrassed to say what Siku has rolled in. OMG it was horrible!

ditto.

Our lab prefers to roll in coyote crap if he can find it! Especially if we've just given him a bath.

mine prefer other dogs shit, they're awesome.

Rio prefers to roll in everyone else's shit, and then eat it. Very gross.

I can say Koda has only rolled on a dead mouse, and thank god he doesnt do it on other dog's shit.

Nunya rolls in dead minnows, that's about it for now.

My first dog, a husky mix, rolled in elk entrails.
This is when I first moved to the Pac NW and lived on the beach in WA.
My dog was not confined during the day.
A neighbor had been hunting and buried what was left after he dressed it.
My dog dug it up, rolled in it, then walked through a shed where a boat was being built with an attitude like, "Hey everybody, check out my new perfume."
People started screaming, "Get that dog outta here!"
It was BAD!
