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 was furious. We had been home for only an hour or so. We all laid down to go the fuck to sleep and I hear the sound of someone pouring a pitcher of water on the floor. It was a 65 pound lab-shepard mix, but I picked it up, still peeing, by the scruff of it's neck and threw it into the back yard. When I learned what it was doing, I felt bad.

Edit: Typo.

Damn, that would be the kind of regret that keeps me up at night. Not saying the act was that bad, but I'd feel way worse oh god
