Because to a dog it seems normal.... They smell each other butts to say hello, or to get to know the other dog. Dogs can't talk and they can't wave so they smell butts. It has to do with the way the butt smells or sumthing, thats how the dog gets to know the other dog. Its like a friendly greeting.... weird I know

It's the equivalent of a handshake for dogs.
Each dog has a unique scent, as anothe poster pointed out, and they are 'introducing' themselves. In general, the dog that 'sniffs' first is typically the dominant of the two. A dog allowing another dog to sniff his butt is a sign of submissiveness.

Dogs have scent glands around their anus used to identify each other. It is like handing out a business card - dog style!

The dogs all had a party
They came from near and far.
Some dogs came by taxi
And some dogs came by car.
Each dog signed his name
Upon a special book
And each dog hung his asshole
Upon a special hook.
One dog was not invited,
And this aroused his ire.
He stormed into the party
And loudly shouted "FIRE!"
In the scene that followed,
The dogs forgot to look
And grabbed just any asshole
From off of any hook.
And that is why when dogs roam
On land or sea or foam,
They sniff each others' assholes,
In hopes to find their own!

Because they are meeting each other. They are getting to know each other.
