Best Answer

Humans have a tendency to interpret dog behaviors through human social conventions, which leads to many a misunderstanding. Although humping in dogs can be related to sex, for instance, in the dog world humping also signals things like a desire simply to play or rough-house or to establish hierarchy. Labrador retrievers have a distinctive play style in the dog world, and they often like to rough-house or play hard; the humping behavior you are observing is probably your dog's way of saying "this dog smells like they'd be fun to rough-house with."
