Why Do Dogs Sniff Each Other's Butts?


I was at a dog park the other day. A dog and his owner approached me and Ditto, my standard poodle, and as our two groups passed the dogs performed their standard greeting.

"Stop being a perv," the other owner told her dog after a minute, prompting him to move along.

The practice certainly isn't too charming to us--but what's behind dogs and their rear-end sniffing? Dr. Gold recently found this article by David Freeman for the Huffington Post that explores the issue. Take a look.
