Animal digestion is not always complete. Often, useful nutrients remain in the voided material. Obviously, this is rarely a first choice, but between coprophagia (the technical term) and starvation, there is little hesitation.
Of course, a few animals are actually designed to eat their own feces. Rabbits, for example, have a sort of two-cycle digestion. The first pellets they leave are soft and green. They eat these, producing hard, dark pellets which are the true feces. If rabbits are prevented from eating their droppings (as with a wire bottomed cage), they can become ill. This really isn't much different from "chewing the cud" like cattle do, except that instead of being regurgitated from a special stomach, the partly-digested food is dropped out the back.

Why does your dog like to eat feces?
If your dog is eating it's feces, that likely means that he is eating too fast and therefore is not properly digesting his food, so there are still nutrients and a good taste left in his feces (that's why he wants to eat it). You have to make your dog eat slower.
