I look after the inlaws little ankle biter (can't remember the breed) and it loves to roll in cow #### with it's long stringy hair. It also goes into the litter box and digs up all the snacks it can find. When I'm in the loo and don't close the door securely it comes in and sticks it's nose between my legs trying to get into the bowl.
Interesting to hear all dogs are so stupid. (j/k - a little revenge for all the cat hating remarks) I always blamed it on spending too much time living with the inlaws and learning from their behaviour. My wife thought that was hilarious until she thought about it a bit more.
I've seen coyotes eating cow dung many times as well.

Yup that's about it. Healthy canines come from millions of years of evolution as successful hunter/scavengers, and are immune to the effects of E coli, and Salmonella.
My only concern would be parasites, and possible traces of medication in the poop of the other animal.

My hounds kept my yard free of cat crap. They loved it.
When hunting, bear crap was a favorite to roll on.

Ummm... your username would suggest you prefer playmates of the canine variety.
I have also been wondering about why dogs like to roll themself in other creatures and sometimes people poop, as well as in rotten carcasses. For one, it is obvious that this behavior covers their own scent, perhaps make it easier for them to aproach their prey down wind, and make their prey believe that they are just smelling some poop or an old rotten carcass ?
Many human hunters also cover or mask their scent while hunting, and I believe that the scent business for hunting is a yearly multi million dollar business.
The of course, their is the whole other human "scent cover" business, cosmitics, especially for women, which is a yearly multi billions business. So we humans are not all that different form the dogs for our need to cover our natural scent when we are hunting any prey, including the opposite ### ?

My dogs, on a highway stop so they could do their business, ate a long rotted turtle carcass tried to cary it home too.
That wasn't too bad, except that twenty minutes later, both dogs began to fart unmercifully. What a stench!
