Why does a dog wag his
tail ?
Sham M Misri
suppose one dog walk up
to another, slowly wagging his tail from side to side . Dose this mean he wants to make friends
? An expert on dog behavior has found a surprising answer . This
kind of tail wagging is a sign
that the dog has a habit of bossing over other dogs . If the newcomer is used
to giving in, the two will
perhaps get along together . But if the newcomer also gives a boss- dog wag , a
fight may easily start.
If a dog wags his tail while it is tucked down close to the legs it shows that
he is used to obeying.
Some tail wagging , of
course , goes along with pleasure. But it is not something a dog dose because
he wants to show how glad
he is to see you . The movement of his tail starts automatically when his eyes
tell his brain that you are
there . Scientists have not done much experimenting to find what gives animals pleasure or how they
show it different ways.
