If you see him/her eating his poop, walk your dog for a while and only let him/her drink water.Another guess that your dog is eating its poop is that he/she ate something and the remains of it are still in its poop and he/she likes how it tastes.Another reason that your dog would eat it's own poop is because there is fiber in the poop from their food. These are only guesses and if your dog keeps on eating its poop, then ask a vet on your next check up.Malnutrition or a behavior in which they want to cover their traces.

If you mean, why do dogs eat feces/poop?"The answer can be as simple as the dog not getting the food it needs. It can also be a sign of a vitamin/hormone deficiency.

This behavior, known as coprophagia, can occur for various reasons such as nutritional deficiencies, boredom, or mimicry of a mother dog cleaning her puppies. It's important to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues and to discuss management strategies.
