DOGS wag their tails in different directions depending on their mood, a study shows.
If they are happy and want to play, they wag to the right.
The same applies if they see a cat or human they like, as our graphic above shows.
But if they’re upset or see a rival, they wag to the left, Italian psychologists found.
They say the research, on 30 breeds, could help vets and animal workers judge if a dog is approachable.
One said: “Tail-wagging is an important emotional response.”
It's not that easy to tell with my pugs' curled up tails or even our lhasa's "pom-pom" tail.
