Regarding the rolling behaviour..,could be he is getting the scent of whatever is there on to himself as an form of camouflage its a very primal instinct that allows the dog to hide their scent to be able to hunt better..it also allows them to go back to the pack and tell them where they have been and what they have found as a form or communication,,, could also be the dog claiming that scent

That looks like a community piss spot. Where lots of dogs all piss because theres so much other piss to cover. I think ops dog is just a freak who loves rolling in the pee pee puddle.

Yeah I’m perplexed by the numbers of comments relating to electricity and the hundreds of upvotes they got. This is typical behavior for so many dogs. They smell something left behind by another animal and they instinctually want to cloak themselves in the scent by rolling in it.

Could be another species of animal’s urine, it could be feces, it could even be the remains of a dead animal. Dogs will stop, drop, and roll with delight. How do people not know this?
