LOL
Of course there is a point and of course there is meaning

A dog has different gestures that combine. For example, in the backyard it may be barking and have it's ears upward and stiff but it's tail is waging, this means it's protecting it's territory and at the same time it wants to be friendly. When it gets to a certain point no one, not even the dog itself can determine it's final reaction.
We can generally affirm that:

the more confidence the dog has in itself, the more freely it will wag it's tail from side to side;
if it's tail is always stiff and still it means the dog is conservative, cautious and even fearful. A dog like this can get to the point of biting just out of fear;
if it's tail is fallen and between it's legs it means it's a submissive dog, except for greyhounds, which have their tails like this naturally.
However, the convulsive contractions of the tail should not be confused with the normal waging. A lifted tail means it's exited, in this case you should also observe it's facial reactions. A friendly mimic and a lifted tail in movement means the dog is trying to say "attention!". Other gestures that mean the same thing is when the fur stand on end, specially on its lower back.

"The foundation of a friendship between man and dog is harmonious and full of confidence, being a small or large breed."

Meaning of Dog Hair / Fur Position
Another heritage from the wolf is the ability to bristle it's hair. Where you can clearly see this is in the lower back and all along it's backbone. When the dogs hair is curled up it means it's very excited or wanting to say "stop what you're doing, it's bothering me!", if you don't it might growl at you.
The same occurs in wolves with their facial hair, and when their hairs are lifted it creates a threatening look in them. Their lifted hair and tail are part of the threatening and aggressive gestures. If their tail falls in a perpendicular position it means that they are unsure and stops being a threat.

Laying on their backs with their legs upward, means complete submission.

Unfortunately a lot of press has made having a pitbull hard on the owners. You've only been there a few months, the dog has done nothing but bark when you're near it's yard.... if this was a cattle dog, a chi or even some fluffy little mix it would be barking just as hard, but you wouldn't be having the same reaction because it's not a Pit. I'm sorry but you have no right to move into a neighborhood and then tell your neighbor to get rid of their dog because you don't like it. If I moved in next to you and told you I was scared of your pom and it was mean and agressive because it was barking at me, you wouldn't be too happy, now would you? It's not really any different. Not all pits are bad, not all are good either. One of the others suggested asking to meet the dog. I agree. I'd explain to your neighbor that you are concerned, and a little frightened and would like to be properly introduced to the dog. If they refuse, it could be because of your previous reaction to the dog. Ask them to consider it, and try not to be so upset because a pit lives next door to you. I've been around several that sounded like they'd eat you alive if you came near their home without the owner being there, but once you get introduced they'd just lick you to death.

The true secret to the path of dog enlightenment can be found in the bottom of the holy kibble.

The dog is a mammal in the order Carnivora. Dogs were domesticated from wolves as recently as 15,000 years ago,[1] or perhaps as early as 100,000 years ago based upon recent genetic fossil and DNA evidence.[2] Other research suggests that dogs have only been domesticated for a much shorter amount of time.[3][4] New evidence suggests that dogs were first domesticated in East Asia, possibly China,[5] and the first peoples to enter North America took dogs with them from Asia. Genetic research has identified 14 ancient dog breeds, with the oldest being the Chow Chow, Shar Pei, Akita Inu, Shiba Inu and Basenji. Because many of the 14 breeds are associated with China and Japan, the theory that the dog originated in Asia seems to be likely.[5] Over time, the dog has developed into hundreds of breeds with a great degree of variation. For example, heights at the withers range from just a few inches (such as the Chihuahua) to roughly three feet (such as the Irish Wolfhound), and colors range from white to black, with reds, grays (usually called blue), and browns occurring in a tremendous variation of patterns.

Dogs, like humans, are highly social animals and this similarity in their overall behavioral pattern accounts for their trainability, playfulness, and ability to fit into human households and social situations. This similarity has earned dogs a unique position in the realm of interspecies relationships. The loyalty and devotion that dogs demonstrate as part of their natural instincts as pack animals closely mimics the human idea of love and friendship, leading many dog owners to view their pets as full-fledged family members. Conversely, dogs seem to view their human companions as members of their pack, and make few, if any, distinctions between their owners and fellow dogs. Dogs fill a variety of roles in human society and are often trained as working dogs. For dogs that do not have traditional jobs, a wide range of dog sports provide the opportunity to exhibit their natural skills. In many countries, the most common and perhaps most important role of dogs is as companions. Dogs have lived with and worked with humans in so many roles that their loyalty has earned them the unique sobriquet "man's best friend".[6] Conversely, some cultures consider dogs to be unclean. In some parts of the world, dogs are raised as livestock to produce dog meat for human consumption. In many places, consumption of dog meat is discouraged by social convention or cultural taboo.
