Why does my dog roll in worms when he finds one on the field?
If my dog finds a worm on the field when I take him for a walk, he exposes it by parting the grass from around it with his nose, and then rolls in the worm, head first.
Answers:
Dogs are natural predators at heart they still share the jeans of there ancestors the wolf.
Hard wired into there genetic make up is this predator instinct and this tells them to mask or cover up there natural odour dog sent, so in order to do this they roll in stinky stuff like dead fish or worms, after they do this they can sneak up on there prey and get a little closer with out being detected by the well equipped prey.
i dont know your dog is CRAZY!!
He is just playing.
Worms smell sooooooooo good to him! Seriously. He wants that worm smell on him. I've seen dogs roll on dead animals.poop..stuff I can't even mention LoL. It's like the best Cologne around.

My dog used to roll in old crabs and any old smelly things on the beach.. I think its something they just do.......good job its not poo
I wish it was only worms that my mutt rolls in! She rolls in all sorts of disgusting stuff! She smells rank somedays and bathing her is like a major operation!
How lucky you are!
My dog has rolled in dead frogs, dead worms, dead spiders. It is pretty strange. My old family dog used to roll in the crap of wild animals. I know it stinks, literally.
count your lucky stars! I have one finds them in the yard & carries them inside to roll on them in confort on the sofa! she can bark at the door to be let in with the worm entirely in her mouth where you can't see it too!
Yes// even if they find a small dead bird.. they roll on the bird.. I have never found out why.. There just does not seem to be any logical sense to it at all.(dog sense I mean)
my dog does that but it chews them spits them out and then rolles in them again lol
