Indeed. The dogs in my family and my friends dogs all do the same.
Even without careful editing, there are times when that play-fighting
looks and sounds almost dangerous to me. For instance, they seem to
instinctively aim for vital body parts, and they will growl, bark, and
yelp. But it's all in fun. Its how they bond, even.
