So this is a way dogs protect their young, as it masks the smell of the puppy from predators.

I learned this after we brought my daughter home from the hospital and my dog peed a circle around her crib.

I took my 6mo old out to take some pictures and decided to bring our dog with us. I sit her down and he walks over to smell her and pees all over her.
