run/be free

When we released the dog from its cage, it was very happy to run free.

Does "run free" in the above context indicate "the dog could run about freely" or "it was happy to be free?" Thanks.

Thanks, Marius.

Do you mean that it's open to interpretations if it's a stand-alone sample?

Yes, you'll have to clarify it.

My experience with dogs leads me to believe that it was happy to get to run around, stretch his legs, etc.
