Body orientation in dogs during defecation or urination was measured as a compass direction of the thoracic spine (between scapulae) towards the head. (We included the photo just to illustrate the measurement. Owing to the photographer’s effort to shoot the photo with the sun from behind and to demonstrate the way of measurement, the dog on the photo looks away from the sun.) Photo Credits go to Jenny Ricken.
