How does dog pee ownership work?
The cliche understanding is that dogs mark their territory with pee. At times I've been on walks with family and friends with half a dozen dogs. There have been occasions where they form a line just to pee in the same spot.
So how does the ownership work? Is it like a co-op? Last one to pee wins?

I don't even see it as marking territory or ownership since that isn't what they are doing.
They're communicating with other dogs when they sniff and pee; so I look at it like scrolling social media. They're just on PissBook. When they sniff, they're reading. When they pee, they're commenting. When they take a dump, they're literally shitposting.
My dad calls it checking their pee-mail.
My FIL says the same
As a dad, I also say the same.

That's very interesting. So when dogs meet and sniff each other's butts, do they recognize the scent and go "hey, you're that dog whose daily walks cross path with mine!"?
