Can a Dog Smile?

What do you think the dog is smiling about?
He’s putting on the cutest smile possible in hopes of getting steak.
He looks like an old man who was just found guilty of farting at a family gathering.
My black lab smiles and wags his butt whenever we come home. The problem is that it scares other people because when he smiles he shows all of his very large, pointy teeth, and if you didn’t know better you’d think he was ready to eat you.
He’s smiling about the narcissistic human tendency to anthropomorphize every creature with a recognizable face.
My black lab shows his teeth too when grinning at me. It’s not one of those wide ear to ear grins – just shows me his front teeth. It’s cute. (to me only – scary to everyone else)
well he’s not smiling about the way his species has been treated by humanity. Buzzkill? but he/she is really cute.
Have your pets spayed or neutered, and don’t buy from a breeder.
the Keeshond (a breed of dog) is commonly referred to as the “smiling Dutchman”
I can’t believe no one has figured it out yet! He’s smiling because he’s getting his picture taken!
so GD adorable I can’t stand it!!
It reminds me of those adorable laughing baby videos. It’s like the person taking the photo did something funny and the puppy is doing a baby laugh…. *squeels* I want!
“Dude, I SO got into your growing closet while you were at work today!!”
He’s smiling because he’s had a cheeseburger. With cat on top.
here’s another one i saw in a hostel in buenos aires, definitely not photoshopped!

That dog looked like it was practicing being a pirate! Arrrr!
Surely this should be on http://www.cuteoverload.com instead?
There’s a little dog at http://www.hongkongdogrescue.com.hk called Antoinette who really looks like she is smiling. I know she is really happy as she is always wagging her tail and coming up for a cuddle. This is great, as when she was first abandoned she was miserable (who wouldn’t be).
It’s 90 degrees, 90% humidity, sunny, and he just sat in a wading pool with ice and cold water. Ahhhhh!
He’s thinking of how great a wee-wee in his owner’s Jetta will be as payback for pulling his neck skin way back for a fake smile photo op.
I think dogs smile as they mimic us. Makes sense to me and my dog smiles a lot when she’s happy, such as the whole family out for a walk etc.
She’s smiling because this time around her soul came back as a cool dog.
