Yes, that is normal, and yes, they should. Their fluids are much like ours. However, the dog mentioned has a greenish yellow discharge and that is not normal.

At the Petsmart puppy training, I noticed Duke's eyes were more red than usual, but it went away when I got home... now i'm slightly worried =X
They can get red when irritated, get dust in them or things like that. Usually artifical tears or Visine will help that.
