Q&A:
Why do Dogs Circle Before They Handle "Business"? 3 Theories:
1. The wolf Ancestor, circled to pat down the grass making it easier to release and make less of a mess.
2. They leave behind their pheromones for other dogs.
3. They align themselves to the magnetic fields of the North-South directional pull.
