It’s true that dogs can have a lot of fun roughhousing with each other. But play is way more important to dogs than many of us realize.

Play-fighting

​Play-fleeing

Play-feeding

Play-courting

Dogs take turns mouthing each other’s faces and necks, jumping on top of one another, chasing and running away, and, yes, even mounting and humping each other.
