It’s all sorted then. NY Times tells us
When dogs feel fundamentally positive about something or someone, their tails wag more to the right side of their rumps. When they have negative feelings, their tail wagging is biased to the left.
The last dog we had at home was a majorly into wagging. Hachiko, a lovely smooth, black coloured daschund. Among other things he loved eating curd rice, grapes, oranges etc. He was also obsessive about chewing ripe mango seeds. He wasn’t exactly cute. He had his snappy moods. He was particularly fond of scaring people in flowing pyjamas and salwars. I have no idea why.
Dear daag – hope your tail is forever wagging to the right.

This is just the right opening for sexist smart-alecky comments, but I shall let it pass. Because (a) I am SO propah and (b) I don’t tangle with the fuzz!
J.A.P.
he hated me!
Did they even consider the possibility of lefty and righty daags?
Hachiko is a cool name!
J.A.P: Uh..
Silky: Well, he grew more sedate in his older years. He quite liked Sri for instance!
km: That’s what I thought too! For some reason – the name was often truncated to Hatch. Actually – you could call him anything – including Timbuktoo – provided you had food in your hands!
