My dog, Nala, loves rolling around in a patch of grass any chance she gets. And it always cracks me up to watch her have the time of her life. 【小题1】. To find out why Nala and so many other dogs like to stop, drop and roll, I reached out to Dr. Stephanie Austin, a veterinarian, who explained that dogs can roll in the grass for several reasons! Here are some of the most common explanations behind this behavior

She’s enjoying a smell. 【小题2】. “They are picking up on hundreds of nuanced scents that we can’t even comprehend!” Dr. Austin told The Dodo. “Sometimes they want to enjoy a scent they’ve found in the grass and will roll around in it to do just that.”

She’s covering up her own scent. According to Dr. Austin, there is another theory that dogs may roll in grass to cover their own scent, as more of an inherited predatory instinct. 【小题3】.

【小题4】. “It’s good to rule out any allergies and make sure your dog isn’t rolling a ton to scratch a constantly itchy back or side, but otherwise, it’s probably normal that he’s having a good time,” Dr. Austin said.

If you notice your dog rolling around in the grass, it’s probably just her having the best time ever. I’m not sure about you, 【小题5】.
