Smile As Hard As You Can
This dog made the choice to put on a brave face for the photo that will be kept in his file at the veterinarian’s office. It turns out that even though his toothy grin looks like a human smile, dog experts are more likely to describe it as a “submissive grin” even though it looks like a human smile.
Dogs will show other dogs that they are not a threat by grinning in a submissive manner and lowering their heads slightly. When a dog is uncomfortable or feels threatened, they may also display what looks like a smile. When they bring out his file, we can almost guarantee that the employees at the veterinary clinic will have a grin on their face.
