WHY DO DOGS ROLL AROUND IN STINCH LIKE DEAD SNAKES OR OTHER DEAD THINGS?

0

It is thought that dogs may choose to roll in foul-smelling things to mask their scent, just as wolves do. Wolves may roll in decomposing carcasses or the feces of herbivores (plant eating animals) to disguise themselves. They want to cover their own odors so their prey will not be alarmed by their scent. This way, they can sneak up on their prey and have a better chance of making a kill.
