Protect Your Dogs While They’re Pooping
When a dog has to relieve themselves they’re more exposed than ever. That’s why animals like horses have evolved to evacuate while traveling and dodge predators. But dogs still need to crouch and it can make them fearful they’re going to be assaulted while they’re doing their duty. That’s why they might gaze at you for direction or protection while relieving themselves.
You may also observe a dog pirouette a few times before relieving itself. This is to investigate their environment and guarantee there are no dangers in the vicinity.
