Does your puppy love you?
According to the New York Times, how your dog wags their tail, tells you how they are feeling.
If you are a dog owner, then you probably already can tell if your dog is happy or sad. How they look, act and sound tends to give away their thoughts. My puppy (see picture above of Brody) would be a terrible poker player, but that’s ok. 
From the NY Times article:
When the dogs saw their owners, their tails all wagged vigorously with a bias to the right side of their bodies, Dr. Vallortigara said. Their tails wagged moderately, again more to the right, when faced with an unfamiliar human. Looking at the cat, a four-year-old male whose owners volunteered him for the experiment, the dogs’ tails again wagged more to the right but in a lower amplitude.
So, the next time your dog starts whining at the neighbor’s cat, or meets an intimidating cousin while on a walk; see if you can tell how your dog is feeling by the way he wags his tail.
