Awful picture. Those aren’t laughs; they’re about to tear into each other.
Get real. Their elbows are on the ground. They are playing.
Neither one of them has narrowed eyes or wrinkled muzzles, exposing just their incisors. Those are not lowered, aggressive faces. They’re not physically in defensive postures. They’re really laughing.
“Awful picture. Those aren’t laughs; they’re about to tear into each other.”
Naw!. I have two Goldens that do that. They look like they’re going to tear each others heads off, but it’s just play. The sounds they make doing it are hilarious. Rather watch them than the TV.
Chill, it’s obvious that they are playing.
Being a dog owner, especially big dogs requires being able to read body language.
Those dogs are playing.
They are playing. Our dogs do the same weird thing... show each other their teeth. Cripplecreek has a picture of his dogs playing that appears brutal (like the dogs are ready to do a Michael Vick dog attack). They are still best buddies (well, best buddies after Cripplecreek, of course)
