This video shows social interactions among puppies about 3-month old. Four puppies come running into the view from the back. Two white ones start wrestling each other. The camera follows the other two and the white ones drop out of the view. Soon there is the sound of a dog yapping and the camera moves in the direction of the sound. The white puppies, which were playing a while ago, are now fighting. Their wrestling play seems to have escalated into a real fight. The other puppies run to them and bark at them while running and circling around them. They also show playing bows, in which they lower the front half of the body. Probably because of these behaviors, the two puppies quit fighting, settle down, and start playing again.
