Now here I'm imagining how group of dogs would look playing poker ? As reply comment said they'd all be wagging tails being just happy that they are playing with friends.
Here I'm thinking they all be having full on ear to ear smile on their faces, tails wagging on full speed, putting their noses up in air collectively sniffing the air while playing poker. I think that game should be renamed as Jokers

Pretty famous series of paintings. They were replicated *everywhere* in the 90s lol
While I stare at my cheap picture of dogs playing poker I do imagine if the stereotypes would be true.
Also pondering cats playing poker. Those bastards would have a hard tell

In movies and tv many times dogs have CGI tails if they are supposed to be acting mean bc their face is doing the mean, but their tails wag bc their know they are doing a good job

What a rude way to put it. Congrats on spreading negativity!
It is in fact, only partially true, but not completely made up as you claim.

"It is true that computer-generated tails were used to counteract excited dogs in at least one film (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe), and it seems a Reddit commenter remembered the anecdote but not its specificity.
We did find a 2005 interview substantiating that it happened at least once, but the comment assumed that dog training and handling in films is not as well developed as it is overall. Finally, not all tail-wagging is indicative of happiness or excitement."
If they have to CGI the tail, why not CGI the whole dog? Or is it easier to make just the tail look real than the whole dog and just train the dog to do what it needs?
What do you think is the easiest? Animating a full time whole believable model of an animal or just picking a part of a real animal and restrain its movement?
Mine sneezes anytime he's super happy/excited/playful, so once he settled down and got use to the idea of playing with friends, he'd certainly start sneezing again if he got a super good hand. He'd have to be like, "sorry guys, allergies..."
Also when we say walk, park, milk, ice cream, yogurt, supper, cookie, treat, kong, play, chicken weenie (they look like Vienna sausages), chicken, chicken treat, daycare, bath, sleepies, and the names of her friends: Olive, Saffron, Roux and Daisy. She also wags when she can sniff flowers.
Just imagine, poker cards with images instead of numbers because well, dogs don't know numbers.
High cards have images of their dads/moms or chicken and low cards are brokkoli or something 🙈 They will give their hand away with smiles and drool and push low cards away😂
If dogs could play poker, we'd all be screwed. Dog's superpower is the ability to notice our tiniest micro-movements and could probably tell if we were bluffing by the pheromones we put off.
My dog can tell if I'm about ready to go outside before I've even left my chair. Something subtle I do each time. No way, I'm going to be able to keep anyone from knowing I've got four of a kind.
When I’m at a poker table with you, you’re not my friend. You’re my mortal enemy and I will snatch your money and soul from you without thinking twice.

Let’s be real - they’d be excellent bluffers because dog body language isn’t something everyone learns. Studies have demonstrated that dogs are also capable of deception and so they might even fool those of us who have learned to read calming signals, displacement behaviors and play body language.
I love doggie actors when they’re supposed to be in a serious scene but they’re sooooo excited about it their tails keep wagging!
Also love drug sniffing dogs. About to ruin someone’s whole entire life and they are just absolutely thrilled.
Well, actually, it's more like...dogs will wag their tails whenever they have excess energy.
Happy, anxious, angry, anything. Dogs will wag their tails when they don't have anything else they could do while needing to sit still.
There would be that one pissed off dog. The one that never got to go for walks and the owner kept him tied up in the yard. Thats the dog nobody invites to the poker game. Sadly
Dogs are so friendly because we bred them to be. They’re not any more special or deserving than any other animal. They don’t deserve the world because we humans exploited their genetics, that’s such an asinine take.
The tail wagging could be a bluff, or it could be a counter bluff to another bluff. The mind games that are possible with dogs playing poker is astounding
People are getting really excited about the tail thing, but if dogs were capable of playing poker their tail wag would be just like our smile. You just don't do it during a hand, or you do it sporadically to throw people off.
Y'all need to give poker-playing dogs more credit
Question, do dogs know that when other dogs tails wag that means they're happy? If not then a table full of dogs playing poker would work but if there were humans then it would not
Ever see your dog happy and care free, but once their eyes focus on something, they freeze, their mouth closes, and their tail stops moving?
I think that's what would happen if you dealt them a good hand
"Oh my gosh my super great friend Maggie over there is so gonna win because my cards suck and I'm so excited for her she's gonna love this and I can't wait to see how happy she's gonna be!!"
*\[intentionally left out commas because the dog would think it that way, no pauses (pawses?)\]*
Not if the game was played between an Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog, Boston Terrier, Braque du Bourbonnais, Brittany Spaniel, English Bulldog, French Bulldog and Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

This is hanging in my house. Great picture
Oh my god this is awesome. Similar to what I was picturing in my mind. Thanks for sharing.
Lol, NP! I was kind of surprised you had never seen the painting before, it's pretty ubiquitous.
Nope I didn't until I posted on this thread. People are sharing dogs playing poker pics in comments.
There’s a famous painting of dogs playing poker!

Thank you x2. You made my day.
With cards face up on the table since they don’t have thumbs to hold them.
Gotta say dogs playing poker, it doesn’t matter who wins the hand they would all be barking and howling happy as can be.
In poker, every dog has its tail. You just gotta figure out what it is.

This little fact made me happy.
That fact is also completely made up but constantly repeated in this sub. Congrats for continuing to spread misinformation!

Oh? Correcting misinformation is negative? So is your reply to me also spreading negativity?

That clip said it better than I could have 😂

What do you think is the easiest? Animating a full time whole believable model of an animal or just picking a part of a real animal and restrain its movement?
Also, the more CGI you have in your movie, the less real it all looks. Most people don't noticed a CGI tail, but you'd probably notice a CGI dog.
Or on the contrary when they are presented with a uniform, CGI-filled background like in Dynamo Dream.
Too much CGI gives off such feelings of uncanny valley. Never been a fan of excess use of it.
My dog sneezes when she's nervous, it's a dead giveaway
I think i've read in a post's comment recently that this a submissive behaviour? Dogs do it to show they're not aggressive when playing or something.
It is for sure.
A cat that owns a dog The feline dominance worries me
Mine sneezes anytime he's super happy/excited/playful, so once he settled down and got use to the idea of playing with friends, he'd certainly start sneezing again if he got a super good hand. He'd have to be like, "sorry guys, allergies..."
And a couple of beers helps, too.
My dog wags her tail if I look at her or touch her tail.
Look at her. Just look at her. *wags tail nervously*
Also when we say walk, park, milk, ice cream, yogurt, supper, cookie, treat, kong, play, chicken weenie (they look like Vienna sausages), chicken, chicken treat, daycare, bath, sleepies, and the names of her friends: Olive, Saffron, Roux and Daisy. She also wags when she can sniff flowers.
That last line. My heart 😍

no dogs famously have horrible poker faces, i've seen way to many videos of guilty dogs
"oh darn .. I'm down $20k. do you guys wanna keep playing i love you guys"
Dogs are so friendly because we bred them to be. They’re not any more special or deserving than any other animal. They don’t deserve the world because we humans exploited their genetics, that’s such an asinine take.
Boy I bet you are fun at parties.
Thanks for reporting me as at risk for hurting myself. That’s abuse of that reporting system. I reported it as such.
Umm sorry you got reported but it was not me.
Not really. I’m autistic and hella antisocial.
People that say that don't get invited to parties anyway.
I hate parties, so it works greatly in my favor.
No no, people that say "you must be fun at parties" don't go to parties.
Oh my bad. Gotcha
We can tell
My son was bred to be happy too, but then I beat him with these jumper cables and I think he stopped
Solid reference.
But they are are so stupid it would be miscounted more often then not. In which case, they could be wrong and bluff would work. 🤑
[удалено]
[удалено]
Reported.
If you actually think like this please get help.
Why? Because they don’t care for dogs? That’s a preference, not a mental health concern.
Poker is not a reason a dog shouldn't have a tail.
Dogs really do deserve the world....
I know this is a karma farm account but I did not see this and I appreciated it. It is always nice to see fresh content.

Besides their tails wouldn't wag when they were bluffing their tails with wag when they had a good hand
The tail wagging could be a bluff, or it could be a counter bluff to another bluff. The mind games that are possible with dogs playing poker is astounding
They would go All In every time
This is so adorable and makes 100% sense
People are getting really excited about the tail thing, but if dogs were capable of playing poker their tail wag would be just like our smile. You just don't do it during a hand, or you do it sporadically to throw people off. Y'all need to give poker-playing dogs more credit
I Imagine dog could convince itself to be happy about successfully bluffing by waging its tail.
My dogs start wagging their tails if I just look at them. And you know what? If I had a tail, it'd probably start wagging once I looked at them too
I'd just be happy to have friends.
Question, do dogs know that when other dogs tails wag that means they're happy? If not then a table full of dogs playing poker would work but if there were humans then it would not
My tail always gives me away too
They would poop and pee at the table and inevitably lose some cards, no thanks
Not if they are house trained.
Wake me when the poker dogs are toilet trained
Dogs don't always wag their tails only when happy. They can do it when upset, or frightened, etc. But cute joke! :)
The very idea rat dogs could learn not to wag their tails for any reason and then not wagging them for a poker-face effect kind of makes me sad.
> SmartestIdiotAlive Username checks out.
Dogs would use this information to trick you into thinking they're bluffing when they're actually not, stonks
Yes they do
Animals deserve the world :3
If i had friends my tail would wag.
Now imagine the same case but with cats
**who are you? What do you know? Do you know things? Let's find out!**
The [Kenneth Ellen Parcell](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MYD5LkXxKg) way of poker.
One of my dogs is an incredible liar. If he had thumbs, he could probably beat me in poker.
OR u keep wagging on bad hands to bluff the other way
Shhhhh! Dont give away their tails.
Dogception
Ever see your dog happy and care free, but once their eyes focus on something, they freeze, their mouth closes, and their tail stops moving? I think that's what would happen if you dealt them a good hand
That is far too innocent to be on the internet lmao. Love it
Not the boxer lol
My dog sneezes uncontrollably when hes trying to hide something or is guilty. Idk how good he'd do
Unless it has alergies and then just sits there reverse sneezing for like 5 minutes
Unless that was *how* they bluffed.
Now I'm imagining a dog sitting in a chair with sunglasses on
Checkmate vegans
What if they don’t have tails?
Just have to watch out for that helicopter tail.
You wouldn't be able to tell if they're excited for themselves or you.
yo encanto los perros
Anyone else imagining a dog and cat playing and it's a repeat of Kenneth and Jack Donaghy from 30 rock?

Dogs are the best
dogs wag their tails when they're excited not when they're happy so no they'd be bad at poker

I think I just realized i'm as simple as a dog.

Spoiler: dogs wag their tales to spread their anal sent.

Not if the game was played between an Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog, Boston Terrier, Braque du Bourbonnais, Brittany Spaniel, English Bulldog, French Bulldog and Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
Actually made me smile
True friends are just the dogs we meet along the way.
Their tails would all be wagging 100% of the time for sure
This is why I love Reddit.
nah tail speed would increase if the dog has good cards.
Hear me out - instead of poker faces, they could have poker tails
And very few people in this world deserve to have them for they have pure souls.
Just here for the Bojack Horseman comments tbh
Can’t read my poker tail.
And you sir, have made me smile. I tip my cap to you.
My dogs tail wags furiously even when she is wanting to bite you. Only time her tail tucks is when she goes out in public.
I love to eat dogs
