That’s a happy dog! You always know when your dog is feeling good. There’s always a tell! Some dogs will have big, relaxed body language. While others will have a more direct way of letting you know their feelings — they’ll wag their tails! One Chocolate Lab was positively cheerful in a video his humans shared online. He was so joyful! And people are now so in love with the pup, Truck.

Who doesn’t love those little puppy rumps? Truck is such a cutie. He doesn’t need a fancy toy or bone to be happy. The Chocolate Labrador Retriever was happy all by himself.

Ohhh, who’s a good boy? Truck’s a good boy! The sweet guy was having a rest on the floor when his mama came over to say hello.

Truck is totally a vibe. The boy was probably thinking about taking a nap later. But then the Labrador Retriever heard his mama’s voice and started wagging his tail so big.

“Truckyyyyy. Truckyyyy,” she called.

What a little chonk. I can just tell snuggling with Truck is the absolute best. I wasn’t the only one who was completely besotted with the good boy. People in the comments were so in love with Truck too.

“Um, that’s a land otter!!!” joked one commenter.

“Truck and his sploots are the best,” someone else praised.

“Look at them bear pawwwwssss,” chimed in another person.

“Oh my goodness.. his little feeters,” gushed another commenter.

Why Do Dogs Wag Their Tails?

Tail wags are almost always a good thing. But what do they mean really? When a dog wags his or her tail it can mean several things. Yes, it means they’re happy. But it can also mean they’re feeling anxious, excited, aggressive, or insecure.

How do you know which of these emotions your pup is feeling? Take a look at their other body language. A happy dog will seem relaxed and his or her mouth might look like they have a smile on their face. A dog that is anxious or feels aggressive might seem tense, with a rigid posture. Knowing how to read your dog’s body language isn’t just important, it’s a smart way to be a pet parent. That way you’ll always give them what they want!
