If you've never known , we actually wag a tail too. It is a tail in your body called a sacrum. Dogs actually have a sacrum which has extra bones attached called Caudal vertebrae also known as tail bones. You have a sacrum that wags when your happy too. It is just a part of your body that is connected to emotion like when you are sad, tears come from your eyes. Dogs don't cry but we do. Weird huh.

∙ 13y agoIt is inherited from wolf ancestors, it is a very obvious visual sign to the pack members that you are making a friendly, non-threatening greeting to another pack member.
With domestic dogs, the owner should be pack leader, so he/she gets greeted. If you are a very powerful, intimidating influence over the dog, you will be greeted by cowering and tail-wagging. If the dog is boss, watch-out.

∙ 13y agoMy dog dose that all the time! It may be because they are happy to see you. Or barking to tell you something while wagging their tall. Or maybe they just want attention.
If they were mad at you i dont think their tall would be wagging. Their hair on their back would most likely be standing up while barking..... Hope it helped! (:
