That is what I was instructed that it meant as well, which would also hold true for Christians who bow before God in their churches.

I always thought that the bow was giving recognition to the god within the other person.

Having observed dogs greeting their owner it seems significant that they insinctively perform a deep blink and a low bow. Since the relationship between humans and dogs/tame wolves goes back to prehistory it seems possible that we have absorbed this behaviour from our pets. I think this is supported by another observation – Cat and dog owners often unconciously perform a deep blink of greeting when meeting any dogs or cats. The deep blink is an instinctive ‘I mean no harm’ signal in canines and felines.
