Imagine you are a dog -that dead animal smell like the most wonderful thing you have ever smelt so you rub it on yourself and make you smell better. This is the same reason that they roll in other animals' waste too.

∙ 12y agoDogs roll in many things they like the smell of to cover up their scent. The question is why would they want to do that? .One theory on rolling on stinky things is that this comes from their survival element from when they were not domesticated. Dogs use to have to hunt for food and there is a tactical advantage to not smelling like a predator. The prey don't know you're coming. Rolling in strong odors -- feces and even dead animals -- is thought to provide scent cover, to help predators land their lunch a little more easily." Dogs will roll in items such as: poop, dirt, worms, grass. Female dogs will usually do this more often than males.
