What does it mean when my dog licks my face a lot? or my hand?
It means he's tasting you to see if you're ready to eat yet.
Also, that's disgusting don't let your dog do that.
They want to clean you from all stupidity and see if there's some intelligence to be found
My dog doesn't lick people often so I know if she ever tries to lick my face that she must be hungry. Sometimes when she's tired and relaxed she'll lick my hand and I take that as a sign of affection.
it's a sign of submission. also, it's fucking dirty.

When wolf pups greet the adult wolves they nibble and lick the jowls of the adults which gets them to regurgetate food for them.

No its just instinctual behavour like turning circled before lying down.
Depends. If they lick near your mouth they probably want food, if they lick your hands or whatever its usually a sign of submission.
If you ever kiss your dog (inb4 bestiality) they will usually freeze and look at you awkardly, this is because they see you as alpha and that is not alpha behaivour.
Dont let your dog kiss you.
My dog licks me as a greeting. Do you think it was a learned behaviour because I laugh and pat him when he does it? I don't really mind it, just curious
