I'm not sure "growling" is a good thing - but let's see what others have to say.
My pup doesn't behave the way yours does. Mine always runs toward other people. He is really a "people lover." And, he is always anxious to meet other dogs and will run to them... go up to them on his stomach and then turn over on his back and lick their face. He really has a "winning way" with everyone.
****** No - I don't let him run up to strange dogs (he would if he could..). The dogs I'm talking about are ones in our neighborhood whose owners know them to be friendly with other dogs. And - we're still careful.

Nikko is pretty much the same way. He loves attention and pulls me toward other people and other dogs when we are on our walks. He is extremely friendly and strangers have actually dropped their belongings on the sidewalk to pet and play with him. He only barks at home when he hears noises in the hall or outside. Now that I think of it, I don't think Nikko has ever barked outside!! How weird is that?
