I concur. Depending upon the individual dog's character, temperament, and his owner's pack leadership skills, it could be interpreted as plain affection, OR, it could be a sign of dominance. So be aware, and let us know if your dog keeps doing it and with who. In any case, your dog should never be allowed to lean on children.
