They are sad. When my wife and I are getting ready to leave home my dog will tuck his tail and actually look sad. As long as one of us is there when the other leave he is alright. Watch your dog the next time you are preparing to leave home. DOGS TEND TO SENSE HARM AROUND THEM......SO IN OTHER WORDS WHEN THE TAIL IS BETWEEN THE TWO HIND LEGS OS A DOG IT IS SCARED! It is also a sign of submission. If a dog is approached by another dog that is more dominant they will tuck their tail between their legs. They may also lay their ears down and hang their head to show the other dog that they are not a threat. The ultimate sign of submission would be for them to roll over on their back.

Why do some people cut the tails off dogs because it sounds mean?

Dogs use their tails to communicate to each other.Some dogs injure their tails and need to have them amputated. In those cases, the amputation can be done under anesthesia, like any other surgery.Some people cut the tails off puppies for cosmetic reasons (or to meet "breed standards.") If performed without anesthesia, amputation is extremely painful regardless of the age of the puppy or dog. It is cruel to amputate dogs' tails without anesthesia. Even with anesthesia, amputating dogs' tails for cosmetic purposes or "breed standards" is unnecessary surgery.However, don't rush to judge someone you see walking a dog with an amputated tail or cropped ears. The person may have rescued the dog from a shelter after the amputation was performed.
