Next time when you come home and your dog greets you, be sure to watch his tail! Scientist have discovered that a happy dog will wag harder to the right and a anxious dog will wag harder to the left! This is how they tested this: (Direct Quote) "Thirty mixed breed dogs,familypets, served as the reasearchers subjects. Each dog was put in a cage specially fitted with cameras to capture the precise angle of the dog's tail movement. The dog was then shown four seperate stimuli his owner; a stranger:a friendly cat : and an unfamiliar intimidationg dog- for one minute each. Upon sight of their owners all 30 dogs wagged their tails more strongly to the right side, it was the same for the cat and the stranger, but both were more subtle than when they saw the owner. The large unknown dog caused all of the dogs to wag their tails more to the left. Concluding that when a dog felt positive, or curious the tail wagged to the right. If the dog felt negative or apphensive, the tail wagged left."

That was very interesting and will check my dog next time, as his tail does goe in circles but not sure which direction, but it sure does go fast when I walk in. Hey, I'm new, how to you put your info on your page, it won't let me change anything or where do you add photos?
