The poop may have smell very nice to your dog, or Bailey wanted to cover up his own scent. It is typical instinctual behavior. mask their scent to help them sneak up on their prey. My own dog used to roll in badger poop whenever she could find it. I am afraid it is something you will have to live with. A bath will take care of the smell.
