Believe it or not, a properly functioning anus and a healthy digestive tract don’t usually have a fecal smell at the anus, even in humans with our giant glutes. It can, but as long as the above caveats are in place, and the human in question is paying attention to their cleanup post dookie, it isn’t poop that you’ll smell if you have to get close. You’ll smell ass but that isn’t the same as poo.
And that’s from someone that did twenty years wiping asses for a living, including having to get very close to said asses on occasion.
A dog? No big glutes. So, unless they have some issue making their poo messy, there won’t be enough clinging onto the anus itself for the smell of poo to be dominant. You can test it. Dogs have no shame most of the time, and will sit on your face with zero warning. Won’t smell of poo as the primary scent. A human nose likely won’t smell it at all.
What you would smell is the musk from their anal glands, plus their own base smell.
A dog would indeed smell some lingering poo smell, if any poo lingered. But it wouldn’t be fresh, steaming poo smell. It would be dry poo smell, which lacks the volatile components that make shit stink as opposed to just smelling strongly the way some things do. It’s like the difference between a compost heap when you just turn it, vs the smell when it’s turned into soil.
Human poo, if dried long enough, just smells like a slightly musky, slightly earthy chunk of something organic. It loses the scatole and indole that make poop smell like shit. And, yes I actually ran into a couple of instances where poop had dried like that on a person. I was fucking furious. But I’ve also done laundry where someone missed a sizable piece and it got dried out in the hamper, and it really isn’t bad smelling. It isn’t even particularly strong, and when I wasn’t smoking, my nose could pick up smells most of my coworkers couldn’t.
Butt! Dogs have different brains than us. Poop smells aren’t inherently bad to them. Ever seen a dog sniffing, and then rolling in, poop? Squirrel, deer, cat, whatever. It’s just an intense thing for them, not one that repulses them.
I love dogs. And, I did home health for twenty years, so I was around a lot of them, helped train them, and dealt with the ones that weren’t well trained enough to not sit on your face when you had to lie down to reach under something for the patient.
You bathe enough dogs, and you find out that anal glands exist and need expressing. The rest is just reading lol

Are you a veterinarian or something how do you know so much about dog butts?
