dogs will often grab a person the only way they are physically able, not breaking the skin, generally is seen as a sign of obedience or submission. If you're not used to a dog doing it, it can scare people, and I have seen some jerk away, scraping or cutting themselves with the dog's teeth.
I wasn't there, can't say on this situation, but it did surprise me that the skin wasn't broken. Our dog (med/large mutt) does this, he wants petted, and will try to pull your hand down to him, it's not aggressive.
