Many experts in dog behavior contend that dogs don’t actually grin. Experts in dog behavior claim that dogs don’t smile when they appear to smile. This could be because the dog is either engaging or submissively fearing to show their innocence. Dogs learn to mimic the behavior of their owners if they are rewarded for it.
Dog owners will often claim that their dog smiles because it is a true statement. We were moved by this adorable @Olliepopmaltipoo. It’s a beautiful smile!

We love the cute head tilt and small, closed-mouth smile! Whoever said that they don’t grin either hasn’t had a dog or hasn’t seen one smile since they’re gorgeous when they do, according to @Eisha, belongs to the “Yes, dogs do smile” school of thinking. @Kelsey is also on board with the dog grin, writing, “Yes! My Pom is always smiling and if he’s not I’m terrified trying to figure out what’s wrong.” @Snowwhite adds, “Yes they do!! My dog smiles every time I tell him we’re going to the park. It’s wonderful.”
Do you hear your dog laughing? Whatever truth, we can all agree that the adorable Maltipoo does seem happy. Or are you among the experts who maintain that dogs aren’t capable of what humans think of when we think of “smiling”?
