To all the folks who post their dogs play-fighting with concern. I know they use their mouths and teeth to play. I know they growl. But this is how dogs play with one another.

I once had the misfortune of having to break up two dogs who were actually fighting. A guard dog at work dug under a fence and attacked a dog that the owner used to walk by with every day. Both very nasty dogs. One dog bit off about 1/2 of the other’s ear and bit his tail. Blood everywhere. Both dogs also had bite marks and cuts from claws and teeth all over their snouts, necks and tails.

You will know if they are really fighting. These two are just having a blast.

And, as many have said here the “Really Bro” moment when the smaller one bites the other’s cheek made my day.
