If predators attack with the sun behind them then shouldn’t dogs look into the sun to protect themselves?

Dogs look to their pack for protection while doing their business. If your dog stares at you while he's pooping, this is why. It's also why he might follow you into the bathroom... to keep you safe while you do your business.

But dogs are descended from wolves, which I think are apex predators, and were domesticated by humans, another apex predator.
