I would like to see the actual results with all of the variables noted. It seems our canine companions may have one sense up on us.

While I can say it is possible that canines can sense the magnetic forces around us, I am wondering how the observer or scientists studying the data determined that the dogs pooped along magnetic lines. I have noticed that dogs tend to choose their locations carefully, but it seemed to me it was based on scent. What proved otherwise to the researchers?
