I propose an upgraded rating. Certainly the wild abandon yet meticulous roll/toss/wiggle technique and full body down to eyelashes mus coverage merit a solid 15 out of 10!
Sir, this is WeRateDogs. This is obviously a rare furry pig having a wallow and she would appreciate some privacy. Please continue to only show us dog content.
haha, i had an australian shepherd who not quite did that, but ran through the ditch beside our home just after his bath. he didn't get nearly as muddy as that but he was white haired.
My dog did something similar. She dug an immense muddy hole and reveled in it in like 15 minutes time, a few hours before I was supposed to get on a cross country flight.I made my flight. Arrrrgh!
Good question, I hope a canid behaviorist weighs in. Might be to cool off, IDK. It could also be a scent thing, some do love to wear a strong "fragrance."
Maybe doggo is donning an insect barrier? Or maybe their skin is a little itchy, & the mud mask calms histamines / restores pH balance?
that almost looks like theyre rolling in concrete lol. i thought my guy was bad when he went jumping into the drainage area of a natural spring where it was about a foot deep of silty mud. i hope mine never finds something as bad as the op
No doubt!! my Golden Retriever went into a mud swamp once and I had to go in to help her because her hind legs were caught by a log. I was in mid thigh. I had to clean both of us off and my hikers squelched for days!
When my son was 3, he found some mud and was covered from head to toe before I could reach him. He was overjoyed. To go home, I found a bin liner, stuck him in it, head sticking out, put him in the car seat and deposited him straight in the bath! He loved it.

A chupacabra.

Thanks for this respite from the doom scrolling.

See you in court.
Just throw a stick of a ball into the nearest creek / lake / etc., and swim that mud off of them!
This gives them the chance to immediately start fresh in a new mud hole.
Clean-up time: Almost 2.5 hours. Grit lodged itself everywhere in that thick double coat.
Zola was never prouder of himself. (I miss you, baby boy.)
You must miss him very much ❤️🩹
