My Dog Smiles

Many of us are animal lovers and have pets. I've had some dogs that smile occasionally, some smile bigger than others.

Our family has had many Dalmatians over the years. Some of them have smiled, some of them haven't. Of the ones that smile, some smile small and just show the small teeth in the front, and some smile real big and show all of their teeth - if you didn't know better, you can mistake it for aggressive behavior, however, they are not. When they are being aggressive, their forehead will wrinkle, when they smile, the forehead is not wrinkled, only the snout to lift up the lips and show the teeth.

Here are a couple pictures of two of my Dalmatians that smile. One goes a little beyond just showing the front teeth. The other is the one that had the biggest smile so far and showed full teeth, however notice the forehead is not wrinkled. He did this when he was happy, or in trouble trying to "sweet talk" his way out by trying to be cute....


Ok, here is the first picture we took just today. This is my current Dalmatian while my son and I are giving him some attention.

Here's a video of him smiling when we "busted" him sleeping on the sofa (which he wasn't supposed to be on - he had his own chair to be on). There are also many other videos of other Dalmatians smiling if you do a search on youtube.
