If You Want to Know if Spot Loves You So, It’s in His Tail
If You Want to Know if Spot Loves You So, It’s in His Tail - New York Times
Every dog lover knows how a pooch expresses its feelings.
Ears close to the head, tense posture, and tail straight out from the body means “don’t mess with me.” Ears perked up, wriggly body and vigorously wagging tail means “I am sooo happy to see you!”
But there is another, newly discovered, feature of dog body language that may surprise attentive pet owners and experts in canine behavior. When dogs feel fundamentally positive about something or someone, their tails wag more to the right side of their rumps. When they have negative feelings, their tail wagging is biased to the left.

Then next time my neighbors dogs are barking at me, I need to check and see if their tails are wagging. I never know if they are being friendly or if I should be afraid of them.
