Cute dog play human

Play, by definition, is fun. When play stops being fun, it stops being play.

Play is a pleasurable activity during which animals engage in behaviors that are not part of the immediate business of life, but rather are performed in mimicry, rehearsal, or display. During play, dogs behave without real seriousness – running, jumping, chasing, mouthing, chewing, wrestling, biting, hiding, and even humping. In play, all behaviors are a game to the players and are performed for fun. There is no hidden agenda.
