Wags the Dog is a Wiggly Friend from The Wiggles. He is a tall, brown dog with floppy ears, a big nose and a big "W" on his chest. He is Captain Feathersword's best friend.

He first appeared in various Wiggles concerts in 1993, before making his official debut in 1995 on the Big Red Car album in his eponymous song.

The way Wags works is that the performer inside can see through the nose. Plus, on top of his head, there's a vent so the performer can have some breathing space.

Official Description[]

Wags the Dog is a dancing dog and when he dances he likes to shake his hips. He loves eating and when you ask “Who’s got the bone?", Wags has the bone! Dancing the shake shake, digging in his garden and having a good time are some of his favourite things to do. The Wiggles understand him when he says “Woof!”
