My girlfriends Chuhuahua smells like poop if he needs to go, not the back end but the front end. All I can figure is the front is so close to the back on a small dog that the smell has a better chance of working its way forward than on a large dog, is this possible?

Are you sure he isn’t just farting in front of a fan?
