Dog communication: Dogs may not be able to talk, but they can communicate using body language.

Dogs lick to show love and affection, mark their territory, heal a wound, and to relieve stress.

They use pawing to demand that their owners pay attention.

Dogs use their tails to convey everything from happiness and confidence to fear and aggression.
