Sometimes the dog tries to override the tail, but doesn’t always succeed. I was dog-sitting a dog whose owner was away. The dog was lying flat out on the living room floor, pointing herself in a straight line toward the front door. She looked pathetic, with sad eyes and everything. I said “Oh, poor doggy” and made other poor-baby sounds at her. Her face got even more pathetic, but her tail started to wag. Faker! At least partially, she was.
