Canine Magnetic Sense

Dogs have a unique sense that allows them to align themselves with the Earth’s magnetic fields. This ability helps them navigate, but it also affects their bathroom habits. Research shows that dogs prefer relieving themselves along the North/South axis, taking their time to find the perfect spot.

This behavior is not just a quirk; it’s a manifestation of their remarkable magnetic sense. So the next time your dog takes a while to pick a spot, remember that they are following their internal compass.
