With two people you ask which way to your village. The liar will point to the truthful village and the truthful one will point to his own village so they will both point the same way.
You really shouldn't promote the misconceptions people have about dog behavior. The "tail wag" wasn't joy, it was part of a submissive display. You should never "hug" a scared dog, and dogs covered in mats like that are probably going to be uncomfortable and snippy. Looks neglected or like it got lost.
A huge reason why dogs end up in the shelter in the first place is the shocking lack of education on the basics of dog behavior and training. If this video made you cry, if you think hugging dogs is a good way to interact, and that all tail wags are happy wags, I recommend re-educating yourself about dogs and spreading good knowledge. The vast majority of dogs in the shelter are there because they are untrained, and because their owners only know the myths they were taught.

I bought an small leather bound book of poetry once at a used book sale. It was inscribed as a graduation present in 1921. Inside were dried four leaf clovers, 6 or 7 total. It paints such a romantic scene.
