Dogs are social animals, and "dominance" is one human theory or framework for understanding how dogs interact with each other (and with humans). Dominance may not be the best framework to understand this, incidentally. In general, dominance in dogs is fluid and variable and has to do with who is calling the shots at a given moment--either for food, for play, for sex, etc.
