Dogs bedding wind to back.

I just let my 2 dogs out and after about 20 minutes of walking around and sniffing they laid down wind to back looking downwind.


Checked with wind radar and milkweed.

After about 20 mins outside my dogs are laying by the back door waiting to get back inside to lay on the couch . I've always thought about it tho and I'm not so sure domesticated animals would behave the same way. They don't have the same fear for survival that wild animals do. I remember reading a oldddd post about dan driving by a deer farm and seeing the deer bedding wind at their back facing downwind so maybe it is true. But with dogs I feel like they are more predator than prey. Coyotes for example I would think they are more concerned about next meal and sniffing that out rather than bedding as secure as a mature deer. If they weren't then I would think they would bed where mature deer do and I don't see that.

Just saying its strange that they both laid down wind to back facing downwind. I was in the house looking out the window.

There's no yard for them to feel safe in just woods.

Coincidence possible I guess.
