Using your dog as a compass

You may have used a compass to find out which way is North. Did you know you can also use a dog? Some scientists have found out that when dogs are doing a poo they preferred to face north or south rather than east or west!

This experiment was published in the article Dogs are sensitive to small variations of the Earth’s magnetic field by Vlastimil Hart et al. in Frontiers of Zoology, 2013
