Perhaps for the same reason we don't wag our tails, when we are happy..

Dogs don't have quite the facial expressions (muscles) we have..

(Something we've developed along the way)

if you had a tail, wouldnt you use it?!

And when a dog is really happy, the backside flips side to side as well as the tail..

(I'm a dog owner, if you didn't know)

Body language..

that's exactly what out 2 are like one of them his whole body goes side to side and he has fallen over before.

I was just curious lol

when the other gets all happy he farts and wags his back end to propel the stench!

If he does something wrong and we tell him off he just answer back with a growl or some similar noise too

I go out for a few hours and look what happens!

It' is all about body language as has been said.

Fast wag happy, slower wag can be nervous or a warning. Scared of unsure tail down, cock-sure tail up (terriers).

More a means of dogs to communicate with each other.

Also a used to judge novelty dog classes ("dog with the waggiest tail" )
