    Hi, dog speaker here, that dog is actually pretty upset. Dogs won’t show their teeth or really the whites of their eyes like this unless they’re uncomfortable.

      Well dog’s can (sort of) simile. But I agree, the way it shows teeth combined with the look of the eye … He’s not relaxed. He’s on edge or up to something, I’d be on my guard near him right now.

      Uh, this isn’t true. My dog literally smiles when she’s happiest (usually during belly rubs). Belly rub from yesterday. She rolls on her back, exposes her belly, and smiles bigger and bigger as I scratch:

        And some breeds (like dobermans) do the stupid little smile when they’re happy, which includes showing their front teeth and usually a lot of wiggling. But I’ve never seen them doing it other than upright position, and I think they tend to squint their eyes too doing that, so whatever is going on the op picture does not look like that. But dogs showing teeth really has multiple meanings, the context and body language tell the rest

      Hi, dog speaker here

      What’s up dog?

      No, but seriously - this pic is very strange. Why does the dog look like it just escaped a zombi apocalypse?

      Idk man, it’s a dobie. They are strange creatures when they are happy and content. I love them but a mal mix is enough for me
