Los patos les tiran a las escopetas. ( The ducks are firing the guns/ doing the shooting)

This is, according to World forum, a Mexican proverb of similar meaning.

The meaning of ' The tailwags the dog' is that a small and unimportant part has taken over an organization, or something like that.

In the case of the ducks it may be more like ' The mouse that turned'. - annierats, Feb 2, 2015
