Small children do not "eat carrion," nor "happily chow down on cat
shit."
Small children do not smell either, unless the parent seriously
neglects to bathe them. The keepers of human children generally make
sure they get bathed at least every two or three days. The keepers of
dogs almost all allow them to get quite stinky before they bathe
them. It is only a tiny minority of dog owners who thoroughly bathe
their dog(s) twice a week or more.

A house with a cat may or may not smell, depending on the owner's
fastidiousness about the litter box*, but houses with dogs nearly all
stink like dog. Do you know anyone who bathes their dogs sufficiently
frequently that their house does NOT smell like dog?

* Or if the cat is male, and as they often do, he pee around the house
to mark his territory.
