Fun fact about dogs. They don’t wag them to show happiness. They wag them to spread their scent and will wag at different speeds or postures according to their mood

Someone told me working dogs wag to wake up scent to find what they’re supposed to find.

Ha ha. No.

Scent dogs have slobber and saggy face skin to catch scent.

The slobber helps?

Yup. Moisture helps smell. Your nose is always wet to help you smell.

But I never mentioned happiness! Tails wag, ears wag, they wag contextually!

That elephant was so obviously wagging its ears at certain contextual points!!
