http://www.qeok.com/dogs/777-qeok.htmlQuestion:

Answers:
It is an instinctual thing that goes back to before dogs descended from wolves. Wolves hunt in a pack and when hunting they need to disguise their scent or deer or elk or whatever they are hunting will smell them long before the wolves can get close enough to attack.
That is why dogs roll in dead animals or feces or any other foul smelling thing on the ground. If you dog could talk he would probably say that he has no idea why he does it, it’s just something a dog has got to do. (It’s the wolf in him)

Other Answers:
It’s like doggy perfume!

Deep down inside every dog, from teacup poodle to Great Dane beats the heart of their common ancestor, the wolf
