Harry, even Bloodhounds sniff each others butts. If I found mine, I dont
know if I'd be able to swap as I lost my ass in the stock market and had
to sign some IOU's. (you're the only one who's ever asked that question)
I heard that story for the first time when I asked my dad why dogs do that.
At the time, I was 7-8 yrs old. One day, many years later, my 8 year old
daughter asked me the same question and I gave the same answer. No moral,
just a good explanation as to why. I can only imagine that my original
family ancestor in the 1730's brought that story with him from Northern
Scotland and he probably learned it from the Vikings.
