Jae Koyanagi @jaekoyanagi.com · 11/08/2026My husband managed to grab a photo of Penelope "smiling" when we picked her up from daycare. She's made this face her whole life, since she was just a wee thing. Always accompanied by extra enthusiastic wags! 904190242

Lisa @islandicies.com · 11/08/2026Aw. I have one that does that too when she is super happy to see me. 0100
Space Coeurl @cuahl.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I believe this is known as 'smarling' Its a breed trait in some dogs. like Dalmatians 2120
Pavel Gromnic @paveldmitrievich.bsky.social · 11/08/2026It's not her fault if her dentures slip occasionally. My aunt had the same little problem. But Penelope is a beautiful person, and you can see her people take good care of her. I think her smile is endearing. 010
MyDogAteEdibles.com @mydogateedibles.com · 11/08/2026That "smiling" face plus the enthusiastic wags. Penelope clearly knows how to make an entrance. Adorable! 000
Rosecrucian Roeth @rosecrucian.bsky.social · 11/08/2026dogs look so cute and so angry at the same time when they smile. 😍😍🤣🤣 020
TheGoodCook @thegoodcook.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Luna smiles on command, showing off her pretty teefies! 010
queenboudica3254.bsky.social @queenboudica3254.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Post a copy on your door and nobody will try to break in! Penelope is adorable. 020
sanfordme.bsky.social @sanfordme.bsky.social · 11/08/2026It is easy to understand she learned it from watching people smile at her. As kids we taught our dog to roll down the hill with us. She just started doing it. 020
Forest for the trees @gretchen-gretchen.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Omg our dog makes a scrunchy face when he sees us too! It’s the craziest, cutest thing. I need to try to get an image of him, your girl is adorable 🥰 010
Melissa Walker @walkerm211.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I love it when they do this. Here’s one of my favourites! The picture’s cropped weird when I try to post it on here, but you get the gist! 150
Debbie Fearon (she/her) @debbiefearon.medsky.social · 11/08/2026I had a Weimeraner dog called Emma who “smiled” like this too as a teen. She’d do it on command too. 💚💚💚 010
Alastor Cain 💗💗 @alastorcain.bsky.social · 11/08/2026The guy who owned the dairy across the street had three dogs who had mustaches and eyebrows and they'd smile like this and it was really unsettling with their expressive faces and way too human eyes. 0160
Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I believe this is a submissive grin. Usually a response to fear of anxiety. Hard to tell from a single picture but that does not look like a happy dog to me. 110
Miriam @gr82bus.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Looks like a pup who's been smiled at a lot. 030

Will's Mum @willsmum.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I bet your veterinarian has an alert on her record that says "Penelope smiles". 020
Reg @redgmac.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I taught a dog I had yearss ago to do this, I just pushed his upper gums up and said teeth, or smile and he would show his teeth, it can be scary at times, specially if he was growling 000

csheppard.bsky.social @csheppard.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Our dog absolutely loved doggie daycare. Loved the staff, loved all the dogs but also loved when we picked her up and she could slow down and rest. It was a godsend for us. 010
Smiling Chauffeur 🇨🇦⚛️ @smilingchauffeur.bsky.social · 11/08/2026A human smile must look like this to other animals. I think an animal must be terrified when it meets a smiling human being for the first time. I wonder if other animals have to learn that a smile means humans are happy. 020

ethelredaunready.bsky.social @ethelredaunready.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Our Flora could be Penelope's twin - exact same smile, but Flopsy used it when embarrassed at being caught out doing something she shouldn't! 020

NickGeeksOut @nickgeeksout.bsky.social · 11/08/2026My middle dog does this. She's done it since she was a puppy. We call her "creepface wigglebutt", which causes her to immediately do it. 🤣 050
OldLadyInAZ 🌵 @oldladyinaz.bsky.social · 11/08/2026My Golden would smile with her mouth closed, she would smile so hard he eyes would close. 020
Mike Oxbigg @mikeoxbigg.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Although you're under no obligation, I think it would be culturally sensitive to put a warning on pictures like this because Muslims are very offended by the sight of dogs and can actually be traumatized by viewing them without warning. 110
