I need Sparky's input on this lmao! (by WalkSoftly)
""" Talk about animal magnetism!
Scientists discovered that dogs across a
variety of breeds align their body axis with the
Earth's magnetic field (MF) when relieving
themselves.
70 dogs out of 37 different breeds -- beagles
and dachshunds and Yorkshire terriers, oh my!
-- were observed going number two 1,893
times and number one 5,582 times over the
course of a two-year period. And they
preferred to excrete when their body was
aligned along the north-south axis under calm
MF conditions, according to a new report in
the journal Frontiers in Zoology.
This behavior did not occur under unstable
conditions, according to the paper -- and why
it happens at all is a mystery, too.
"It is still enigmatic why the dogs do align at
all, whether they do it 'consciously' ... or
whether its reception is controlled on the
vegetative level (they 'feel better/more
comfortable or worse/less comfortable' in a
certain direction)," wrote researchers from the
Department of Game Management and Wildlife
Biology at the Czech University of Life
Sciences in the Czech Republic and the
zoology department at the University of
Duisburg-Essen in Germany.
"Our analysis of the raw data ... indicates that
dogs not only prefer N-S direction, but at the
same time they also avoid E-W direction," they
wrote.
This is the first time that magnetic sensitivity
has been proven in dogs. But there are several
other species that are also sensitive to the
Earth's magnetic field, the researchers said,
including foxes, cattle and deer."""

Smdh lol!

@WalkSoftly: This is all part of the dogs new plan to take over the world, but they are srtill underestimating the power of the Cat......
