What happens to a dog without a tail?
A tailless dog may be affected physically, since the tail is an important social tool used to express emotions by wagging. Without it, communication with other dogs may suffer.

Why does a dog like to lick its owner’s hands and feet?
Licking the owner's hands and feet is a dog's way of showing affection and feeling the owner's warmth to remember them, especially in puppies as a conditioned communication. A stressed dog may lick to relax, showing dependence and trust. A hungry dog often licks fingers to signal it wants food.
What does it mean when a dog stretches?
Like us, dogs stretch after waking to loosen up. Stretching in sleep may mean a dream. A down-front pose can be submission (trust). A stretch with the rear toward you is an invite to sniff — dog-to-dog communication.
