Yeah, this is where context comes in. The way a dog greets you probably looks a lot like if they are begging for food; "sir, may I have another?". On the other hand, ears go back if the dog is uncomfortable. On the other other hand, ears go back if the dog is readying for a fight (the better to keep them protected), OR if the dog is play-fighting.
