The cliche understanding is that dogs mark their territory with pee. At times I’ve been on walks with family and friends with half a dozen dogs. There have been occasions where they form a line just to pee in the same spot.
So how does the ownership work? Is it like a co-op? Last one to pee wins?
I don’t even see it as marking territory or ownership since that isn’t what they are doing.
They’re communicating with other dogs when they sniff and pee; so I look at it like scrolling social media. They’re just on PissBook. When they sniff, they’re reading. When they pee, they’re commenting. When they take a dump, they’re literally shitposting.
My dad calls it checking their pee-mail.
