There’s pretty much nothing a dog smile can’t fix. Whether it’s a brand-new breakup or the same ol’ Monday doldrums, a giant grin from your best friend can make make a bad day a fab day in two seconds flat. One happy dog can turn it around, whether it’s a Chihuahua or a Great Dane.

Pugging Hilarious
Whatever it was, it was really funny.
The fast and the furriest
Movie guy voice: In a world, where puppies attack, kisses happen.
One of these puppies knows what happens at the vet and one is clueless
Don’t worry guys, you’ll definitely get a cookie for this.
Awkward Turtle
He’s trying really hard to smile but, like, smiling is hard. “Am I doing it right?” Uh, kind of?
Dog Dreamin’
Bones, balls, extremely expensive shoes. These are the things doggy dreams are made of.
Rubber Ducky
Squee! S’cute. And basically the opposite of any dog bath we’ve ever given. (It’s generally a disaster zone.)
Yoda Best
Those ears! That underbite! Pure joy.
Beautiful Goofy Grin
It’s official. Smiles just don’t get any sweeter than this.
Pearly Whites
Now that’s a good lookin’ smile.
?!
From straight confusion to pure joy. We love it. We love it so much.
Kisses!
Oh my dog, this is the cutest candid we’ve ever seen.
“I’m gonna get you!”
In our dreams, this pug pup is coming straight for us. And it’s the best. thing. ever.
Corgi Clan
Fact: No other dog breed looks as happy as the corgi. I mean, just look at them. (Okay, fine, the golden retriever is a close second. And the pit bull. And … argh, they’re all the best dogs.)
Human’s Got Your Tongue?
“Look, I had a long day at the office.”
Sun’s Out, Tongue’s Out
This funny dog / Very Good Boy is getting his walk in, and he could not be happier about it.
Big Smile! CHEESE!
Overachiever for the dog trainer or just really hoping for a treat? Either way, we sure do love the effort. Just look at that tail go!
Bathtub Grin
Yeah, we’d look like that if we were being treated to a backyard spa day, too.
Sly Smile
That happy face. It’s the way to hearts everywhere.
Tongue out tuesday backseat blissout
You can’t blame a girl for following her bliss around the block. Driving with the window down is just high speed snifflating. It’s science.
Dog Body Language
