Dogs align themselves with Earth’s magnetic field when it comes time to poop

Dogs have been found to be sensitive to Earth's magnetic field, and apparently align themselves along the magnetic north-south axis before they defecate. Czech and German researchers studied 70 dogs during 1,893 defecations and 5,582 urinations over the course of two years, and found that when the Earth's magnetic field was stable the dogs chose to align themselves with it. When it was unstable, such as during a solar flare, the dogs would become confused.

Important research. Had to involve a government grant somewhere along the pup poop line.

This makes sense.
Dogs always face Mecca when they turn around and poop. don’t they?

Cats automatically align all vomiting with soft, expensive floorings and furniture. If they feel the need to puke, they will race across yards and yards of hardwood floor or stone tile to reach the soft expensive persian rug and then heave.

Apparently the magnetic field is especially strong in one corner of the yard.

Wow... I thought only the USA funded completely useless and idiotic research....
What possible scientific application can you use in which direction a dog poops ?
