Marking a good post. Thanks
somebody's been eating that tainted dog food
What is that supposed to mean?

That just proves what we've all known for a long time.
Right is GOOD and Left is BAD.
Class dismissed!

It figures.
Anything sick, evil, foul or threatening and the noble dog points to the left to indicate his displeasure.
Dang, but dogs are fine critters.
Not sure. I read the post to somebody here and that's what they said. They seemed to think that the dog's tail goes in both directions, left and right.
Nobody had replied to the post yet so I figured my post would bump the thread.

Click on the site. There's a video there showing examples. I don't know how to link it here.
Interesting. I've also been told that people will look upward and to one direction when they are trying to recall something factual (such as - what did you eat for dinner last night?) and they will look up and toward the other direction when they are creating a scenario in their mind (i.e. trying to make something up). Apparently, it's one way you can tell if a person is lying.
I'm not sure, but I think the rough translation of this is "don't bother to look only I can see it."
If I am standing behind the dog and his tail moves left wouldn't it be moving to the right if I was standing in front of him? I have enough things in my life that are confusing, I don't need mixed messages from my dog.
Maybe it's just a right-handed....ummmm pawed dog?
I always thought that a dog's tail wags faster when it's happy (like the video) and slower when the dog is anxious/unsure. The video seems to support this.
I have two dogs--stub-tailed min pin and long tailed dachschund. Both wag slowly when anxious or confused. Both wag fast and hard when happy. The dachschund tucks her tail when she's worried or has her feelings hurt. When they're angry or on alert, the tails are erect, not wagging at all.
I'm not buying the right/left thing.
That's a good description of it.
I think I saw this on the Dog Whisperer last week! ;-)
Of course dogs like company... they don't have opposable thumbs to work the can opener! LOL
Unless the person is a lawyer or politician.
That is actually a myth. It has to do with whether someone is left handed or right handed.
