thinkin about it. wouldn't the direction change down under? like that simspons episode which explained gravity or somehting?
Fascinating
"Proving at least that they’re really devoted to their work, the researchers measured the direction of the body axis of 70 dogs from 37 breeds during 1,893 defecations and 5,582 urinations over the course of two years, and found that dogs “prefer to excrete with the body being aligned along the North-south axis under calm magnetic field conditions.” They fittingly published their results in the journal Frontiers in Zoology."

How much they spend $ over this research? Aren't they worth that much $ from taxpayer's dollars?

I call B.S. on this one. my dog goes however he wants, and is never consistent about being in the same position haha. north-south, east-west, west-east, south-north, ...... yep.

Well I've been fairly consistent in pointing in a southward direction. My toilet faces south.

My dog poops and pees in alignment with the flowers and bushes.
