#2. When you tapped him on the butt, I am positive he had NO clue why you were angry or tapping his butt. A dog literally lives in the moment (lucky them) and even though he pooped in your car when you came back, he more then likely forgot he even did it. Imagine from his point of view, hes like.."Geeze, what did I do that I am being put in the back seat and my mom is angry at me". Remember, try and think from the dogs perspective, as much as we want to think of them as human and understanding everything in the human world, that is the biggest mistake we owners make.
#3. He probably just had to "go" and had no where to "go" except on the seat. I understand your frustration, but the best thing you could have done is cleaned it up and chalked it up to an accident. Make sure your use a smell deterent when you get home.
#4. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand your frustration, ewww, sitting on crap is not my idea of fun either, but don't take it personally, it just happened and move on from there. Hope the rest of the day is better.

Sorry, I have to disagree with you on this one, but only cause of my recent Personal experience. I had to leave Cooper with my son and his girlfriend for two days, while I was out of town. When I returned home, expecting he would be as happy to see me as I was him, boy was I in for a rude surprise. He laid back his ears, GROWLED at me, and absolutely refused to have anything to do with me the rest of the night. He was fine with my husband, who was gone an entire 12 days.
To me that says, they don't just "live in the moment"...he knew I had left him for a couple days, which I NEVER do, and he was holding a grudge that I had done that. It was 2 full days before he was completely back to his old self. Although, he only growled at me the first night. Just wanted to share, and OP, I sorry you had a poopy butt..I think he was mad at you, or why would he poop in "your" seat?
