They couldn't have had a better headline...
I would decline to (is decline, related to declination?) comment, as I have never quantified the poop exit direction. However, I do have another idea, for my treatise on Basis of Bearings:
Basis of Bearings:
Taken from a pooping dog, of the great dane breed, @ 4:10 pm, on 1/1/2014 near the old country store.
Yes. much helpful.
Better than "ASSumed Bearings"
Wait... .wait... I think it get it... there is a pun in there somewhere!
Hmmmm progress and education. It's a wonderful thing! Now I know what ASSumed bearings are!

"ASSumed bearings" lol!
I think I first saw this link on beerleg foxes. I don't remember who posted it. Amazing. I think someone's on to something here.
Perhaps the southern exposure warms their backside while they do their business.:-D
“Dogs prefer to do their duty with their bodies aligned along the north-south axis, particularly under calm magnetic field conditions,…..”
Therefore, ALWAYS carry a compass when walking your dog. I've noticed that when my “dog” (SWMBO insists the “dog” is a mentally challenged vicious raccoon) spins counterclockwise he usually ends up with his butt East or West, same thing for a clockwise spin.
I simply glance at the compass and adjust the dog, who is usually not a willing participant at this stage, to magnetic North (or South) and Viola!
After placing the “residue” in a baggie it’s time to return home and clean whatever bitemarks/wounds or fingers which may need reattachment etc. the little “sweetie” inflicted during the orientation process.

That Would Be A Re-Orientation Process
Point to consider though, is picking up the evidence subject to the laws and fines on disturbing monuments?

My Scottish Terrier's compass must have been set wrong at the factory. I have been watching since this was first posted and she consistantly goes in an E-W or NW-SE direction; so far....
