This is called "pica", and it's most often due to a mineral defeciency; the dog is instinctively trying to get whatever mineral his body is deficient in. A hookworm infection could cause an iron deficiency; the biggest symptom of hookworms is bloody diarrhea. If the dog is on a commercial dog food ( which is a balanced formula to meet all his normal dietary needs), and he's eating soil, then a vet needs to determine what underlying medical problem he has.
