My dog snuck out the front door when my parents were leaving (we're all in the same "bubble" and are all vaccinated). Anyhow, he ran to the neighbors yard and proceeded to flop over and rub his back like he was scratching it. I didn't think much of it until he wouldn't come when I called him. I went over there and he's covered from his shoulders to his tale in thick brown yuck. I was praying it was mud, but after wrestling him into the bathtub and wetting him down, the smell is definitely NOT mud. Blech!!!
He got washed 10 times while I wore rubber gloves... dog shampoo, daughter's shampoo, ivory soap, 3 rounds of antibacterial dish soap, 2 rounds of dog shampoo, another round of antibacterial soap and finally dog shampoo. Then I spent another 10 minutes rinsing him thoroughly to make sure all the soap residues were out.
Then, had to disinfect the tub (2x with Clorox cleaner and now pinesol).
My clothes are soaking in the washing machine with disinfecting cleaner now.
Yes, I'm overly anal, I guess. But, I don't know what kind of animal poop it was. We definitely have raccoons around. My mom's friends DH died fro9m the parasite in raccoon feces, so I was mildly freaking out.
At least the dog is nice and clean and the house smells clean.
UGH!!!
So, what pain in the butt things have your pets done lately?

This was many years ago but we had an escape artist dog who could fit his entire body under the fence in an area the size of a rabbit. He was a border collie mix!
Anyway he once ran off and we found him rolling in a giant dead carp on the edge of the lake. I wanted to kill him.
The dog we have now is a saint who never runs off or rolls in things. She's a gem for sure.
It sounds like your dog found the poop of another dog if there was enough of it and it was wet enough to go all down his back. Raccoon poop isn't like that, nor is most wild animal poop.

I had my golden with me in the front yard as I did yard work. She loved to do the flop and scratch. This particular day, I walked over as she was getting up. She rolled on a dead mouse. As I gave her a bath, DH went to get the mouse. Turns out, it was only half a dead mouse. Of course, I was completely out of dog shampoo so she got an extra good bath with dd's baby shampoo.

Our pup is loving something BELOW the ground next to our hydrangeas. So what that translates to is she is digging there. So, our husky is watching this and has decided to join in on the fun although why in the world would she dig in the same hole? Of course not! So she has started a hole in the grass about 5' from the hydrangea hole.
I'm ready to tar and feather both of them.
Now I get a bucket of water to wash their feet. Once washed I send them to their room just like they are kids!!

Day 2 he jumped his collar at night and ran away. We had a couple of pet search and rescues bring him home. I nearly had a heart attack. Now we never ever take him out without something heavy duty on him.
I need him to like my dad more. He is great but how much affection does one person need? I love him but I need alone time.

Wait—did you get a dog? Have we seen photos? Off to look... My whine is not enough dog photos! |

My terrier loved to roll in rabbit poop. Since they were small pellets it wasn't bad, but I would not pet her after I saw her squirming around in it. Into the bath she went!

My baby St. Bernard stands on his hind legs and his front paws dangling over the side of the fence barking at everyone walking by. I swear people must think he is Cujo... but he is just saying hi. I have to drag in that 120 pound dog in every time he starts up... but he is a baby loveable ole thing.

We have a lake cabin so our dog is constantly finding dead junk to roll in. It’s so disgusting! It’s even worse when he tries to eat whatever he finds.  I just keep praying he never finds a skunk! |

My Aussie loves to roll in stuff,the grossed the better.
Then when he tries to come in the house, put his chin down and try to hide the mess all over his chest. Hey dumbass, if you're smart enough to try and hide it, how about being smart enough not to do it at all. Of course that's not how it works!
Of all the crap (literal and figurative) that he's rolled in, old fermented grass is the worst. Landscaper would pile it up out back to layer be tilled into field. But the yuk at the bottom after rains and rotting is gag worthy. Don't really smell it walking by but the perfume it makes on a dog is God awful.

I have a Maltese who thinks he is a big dog (he weighs 10 lbs). So he barks at every big dog in our neighbor like he's going to eat their faces off. It's ridiculous and drives me crazy. But otherwise he is the best dog that we all adore so we put up with his shenanigans.

Our boxer has now been partially responsible for a broken ankle - my daughter- and a torn bicep- me. It’s a good thing we love him. But we should have bought supplemental insurance when we got him!

The first year we had her, our Alabama rescue kept trying to roll around in geese poop. The first time it happened she found her head in real good So for the next few months until her first snow, anytime she looked like she was about to roll I herded her into the house. Didn't do it the second summer we had her. |

My one dog brought a possum into the house. Not once. Twice. We managed to scoop up the possum both times and take them outside. This only happened in the den on one spot of the carpet. I guess it's her alter for her offerings. Lol.
After each time, my dog got a bath and I scrubbed around her mouth. I scrubbed the carpet down, mopped the surrounding floors, and sprayed disinfecting spray on everything. Even the couches. Then I jumped into the shower. Mind you, I never went near the possum but I just felt the need to do all that afterwards. No, you are not anal. I am the same way.

My dogs considered rabbit poo a delicacy beyond the finest caviar. They were obsessed with searching the yard for these priceless treats. birdy, at least you caught your dog before he made it inside. I’ve had times where smelling the delicious aroma of rancid animal feces on my fabric couch was the first indicator of transgression. |

But otherwise he is the best dog that we all adore so we put up with his shenanigans. My maltese shihtzu is the same, and I often say he’s the very best, easiest dog I’ve ever had. Why he yells at dogs who could eat him for lunch escapes me. |

"Yes, I'm overly anal". Pretty funny considering what the dog rolled in  |

Mine is a puppy. She’s super sweet for everyone. Everyone thinks she’s the cutest sweetest thing. But she bites little dd - she knows the pecking order in our house. Granted little dd is always in her face but still. And she barks a lot, at everything, and it’s totally ruining our walking experience.

I haven't had a dog at our place in quite a few years now. But one of mine was a determined escape artist. He would break through the barrier of the underground electric fence and mosey down to the neighbors dead hog pile and have a nice roll.
It would make your eyes water when he came back. He HATED baths, but he had to have one. I had to keep him on his leash for a bit after the bath or he would try to make a break again for another roll. Evidently, he thought it smelled wonderful!
This dog could also go out in the corn field and get an ear of corn. A random fully shucked ear of corn would just be sitting in my yard. Wonder Dog! LOL
