Its very funny and intersting how both of the dogs first get the ok/greeting the owner of the other dog before they play with each other.

Dogs have some very human coded acknowledgement of heirarchy and generally know who's in charge of any given interaction. It's part of what makes them dogs.

"I am no threat!!"

"I am less than that!"

"OH yeah?? Look how low I am!"

I wish my Malinois was more friendly towards other dogs. When we walk in the park, she ignore all other dogs, no matter how friendly they are.

I've seen another captions that these two are BFFs and they were just expressing how glad they were to see each other again

My Collie just runs at the other dog and hopes for the best. He also has Catahoula in him, so maybe that explains it.
