Best Answer

Dogs are attracted to various strong scents and odors and like to "wear" them, much as we scent ourselves with perfume. As far as licking or eating feces; some dogs have this habit and some don't. The ones who do seem to like the taste of it (probably because they can smell the undigested food in it).
