Dogs can’t just wag their tails when they experience positive emotions. About this “Moscow 24” reported scientific commentator Nikolai Grinko cites data from a team of researchers consisting of Silvia Leonetti of the University of Turin, Taylor Hersh of the University of Oregon, and Andrea Ravignani of the Sapienza University of Rome.

Scientists have found that tail wagging has differences; dogs can move it left and right. In this case, the first variation may indicate positive emotions in the animal, and the second may indicate tension or an unusual situation.

“Experts have compiled a comprehensive knowledge base about dog tails. It turns out that wagging is used as a “give” signal, for example, in relation to food or toys. Dogs often wag their tails when interacting with people they know and those they don’t know, but most often they wag their tails in the presence of their owners. They also sometimes wag their tails when interacting with people they know and those they don’t know.” “They also wag their tails in response to non-social stimuli that are quite funny: treats, affection, fans, plastic bags. It is obvious that the animal is experiencing positive emotions or strong excitement, but not fear or stress.” Grinko remarked.

Scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison previously Establishedthat dogs are most interested in watching videos of other animals, especially dogs. Evaluating how a dog responds to a video can help evaluate an animal’s vision.
