I was told that many animals eat feces out of instinct. There is still a large amount of protein and energy in the feces after it has passed through an animal once. The animal doesn' t mind a nice turd snack every now or then to make use of this food. A good example of the human version would be the East Indian sects that only eat human feces for periods.

Then there' s the old roll in the stuff habit. It' s supposed to cover their scent. Neither seems appealing but the dog' s see the world through a different set of organs.
