Rolling around in shit

Why do dogs like stinky stuff? Dogs smell anyways, but why do they like to do things which make them smell worse?

Whenever I and Oreo are out and about she has a tendancy to vanish for a half hour or so, and when she returns, she seems happier than usual, which makes me suspicious.

Sure enough I go to pet her and see this slimy stuff on her back. And it stinks. Like Shit. Because it is shit.

So I give her a bath, which she doesn't necessarily hate, but doesn't really love.

So the next day when we are outside, and I am mowing the weeds, or working in my garden, she disappears again, and the whole stinky cycle starts again.

What's the deal with shit and dogs rolling in it?

Actually, Tom, Your dog is referring back to his pre-historic days as a canine predator. They covered themselves in shit to mask their odor from their prey much as you cover yourself in Old Spice to mask your odor from your prey.
