My dogs have never growled at us in a mean way, but when they want attention, they will growl to themselves. When they are frustrated, they will growl and grumble like "grrrrooowr..mmmmm..." It's so funny lol. Are you sure it wasn't just this kind of growl and not a mean one?

That is EXACTLY what I thought when I read this. Maybe he was 'talking' to Jeff, saying, "Hey, more pets, please".

If it was growling...well, I don't think it is appropriate, but, something you might have to take in account when hovering above his head (lol). I have known doggies that don't like to be teased...for instance, their paws touched, so, when people would do it, they would growl.
