Hi there! Let's talk about what dogs do when they see people. When a dog sees its owner, it gets very excited! You might notice that the dog jumps up and down happily. This is called 'jumping for joy!' It shows that the dog is really, really happy to see you!
Another thing that dogs do when they’re happy is wag their tails. A wagging tail is a sign of a happy dog. If the tail is wagging a lot and moving in a circle, that means the dog is super excited!
But what happens when a dog sees someone it doesn’t know, like a stranger? The dog might feel a little unsure or worried. Sometimes, it will make a noise called a 'guarded woof.' That’s a way for the dog to say, 'Hey, I’m here, and I’m not sure about you!' It’s just the dog's way of being protective.
So remember, when a dog jumps and wags its tail, it is happy to see you, and when it barks a guarded woof, it is trying to be careful and watch out for things!
