It's not a boy dog thing or a puppy thing. Here's a picture of my 10 year old (at the time) "lady" after she rolled in some kind of animal's very fresh poop. It's hard to see cause she's black, but the brown stuff around her neck is you know what and the smell was unbearable.



You have to smile at a dirty (not poopy) dog though cause you know they're just being a dog and they still look sooo cute.
