It is true. The dog is partially showing affection and partially claiming you as his/hers, letting other people and dogs know that you're taken. Happens most often between female dogs/male owners and male dogs/female owners. It's harmless in itself but the mentality that leads to it might not be healthy - dogs tend to be happiest when they see their owner as their leader. Clearly defined leadership is good for a pack animal. They like to know their place, as harsh as that sounds.
