The current theory about why dogs will roll in smelly material comes from on their relationship to wolves and observation of wolf behavior. Wolves will often roll in decomposing carcasses or the feces of plant eating animals or herbivores. It is assumed that this masks their own scent and enables them to sneak up on their prey without detection. It may even fool members of the other species into accepting a wolf as one of their own. It is assumed that this instinct is what we are seeing in the behavior of domesticated dogs as well. Working and hunting dogs tend to roll in smelly stuff more often than other breeds and this is perhaps because they are more closely related to wolves.
No one really knows the answer, but many people think it is because they think it smells good (to them, of course!) and it will make them smell nice too. I don't know. Dogs have some PRETTY weird habbits! :)
Not all dogs do this.The dog is marking the frogs with their scent. They do this to a lot of things. Their bed, their blankets, their food bowls, your leg and so on. It's a way of marking their territory to say "this is mine!".
Well its relevant to pigs actually they roll around in dirt to stay cool BUT sometimes they are mostly just excited or want a belly run that is pretty much it
To them, it isn't a bad smell, its like perfume or colonge.
No! Don't allow your dog to roll in dead animals. Its Disquisting. would you roll in dead things?
Appearntly the stupid buffoons think its cologne or something.
They are carrion feeders.
They roll in it for the same reason they'll roll on anything "smelly"... it's a hunting instinct. Dogs do that to mask or cover their own scent.

Does he have a place to poop at your home? It could be because he does not want to poop at your home and has to poop when you walk him. Another reason could be because he is "marking his spot." Dogs do this often. They poop and it's like a message to other dogs. You may want to check that his poop is not diaheria, and regular poop. If it is diaheria, then it is a problem.
no
