Yes.

SELECT count( * )
FROM dog g, kennel k

Returned 12. (I have four dogs and three kennels.) Of course, that is a matrix, and therefore not accurate. If, instead, I did this:

SELECT count( * )
FROM dog g, kennel k
WHERE g.kennel_id = k.kennel_id

Returned 4.

(I had no clue to the answer, so I set up a quick test in about three minutes ...)
