A very playful dog can have an orchestra of growling during a game of tug, but it doesn't mean anything but play. A dog can also learn to bark on command.

Even if the dog sounds angry, it is just trying to say that it doesn't trust dad enough to think it'll be able to keep its food. He should instead be working on getting the dog to trust him. And it doesn't really help to correct a dog for growling anyway. You are just punishing the symptoms, not dealing with the cause of the problem.
