Careful kinematic research, such as that done by a Japanese team headed by Naomi Wada, has determined that the dog's tail was designed to assist the dog with balance.

This causes his back to bend; however, the forward velocity is such that his hindquarters will tend to continue in the original direction.

Dogs can have wildly different personalities, which often vary by breed and size. Although individual temperament matters most, larger trends can help predict which pooch will be meek and mild and which is most likely to bite the postal worker.

Picture this: Your new puppy is pressed against the corner of the room, trembling slightly as you call their name.
