Have you ever wondered why some dogs spin in circles like a whirling dervish before finding the perfect pooping position? Like many animals dogs are sensitive to Earth's magnetism. What they are trying to do is align their bodies along the north-south axis (under calm magnetic field conditions). The magnetic field can fluctuate making it difficult for the animal to find the perfect position. Not only does this apply to the defecation process but they also want to be properly aligned for urinating and sleeping. You may think I am making this up but a team of European scientists studied 70 dogs for two years to determine their magnetic sensitivity in hope of learning more about bio-magnetic research. Is anyone else wondering if your toilet is pointing in the right direction? both of mine are east-west!
