This story is pretty fascinating! According to FOX News,
Scientists have discovered that most dog breeds have one thing in common: the position they take to relieve themselves. Researchers say that 70 dogs representing 37 different breeds were observed relieving themselves thousands of times over the course of a two-year period. Researchers found the dog preferred to excrete when their body was aligned along the north-south axis under calm magnetic field (MF) conditions. Researchers say they don’t know why the dogs do it, and that they’ve found the dogs avoid aligning with the East-West direction. Experts say this is the first time magnetic sensitivity has been proven in dogs, but that there are several other species that are also sensitive to the Earth’s magnetic field including foxes, cattle and deer.
