The moisture and cooler temperatures can comfort your dog cool off. If they are overheating then this may be the primary cause of the behavior. The basis for this comes from predatory behaviors. Rolling around in mud or other substances can mask their scent, allowing them to sneak up on prey more efficiently. Mud has many benefits for your dog.

Many have faith in its instinctual behavior, back to the days when your dog’s wild ancestors would mask their scent to help them sneak up on their prey.

Your dog may be rubbing his head to relieve an itch caused by a health issue such as fleas, or skin allergies caused by his food, household products or the grass itself. If the rubbing is incessant, or if you can see fleas, inflammation or an infection, consult with your veterinarian about the cause and treatment.

Pica is well-defined as a state whereby dogs eat things other than food. Eating just a bit of dirt is generally not harmful, (of course in moderation!) but in some cases it can turn out to be. For instance, if your dog ingests dirt where other dogs may have defecated, your dog may ingest parasites eggs or protozoan that can cause your dog to develop worms or disease.
