Do Dogs Face North When Pooping?

I saw a stupid Youtube segment that claimed that dogs prefer facing towards the magnetic North when crapping. This sounds like nonsense, but it seems that many other places of questionable reputation concur.

I've been watching my dog, and indeed for 3 days she faced North, but today she faced East.

East again

My dog sort of shuffles along while doing his business, leaving a bolus trail in his wake. I should draw a line through those points, and take a bearing.

East, north, and east again. I think my dog is suspecting something is up.
