According to scientific studies, dogs not only demonstrate their happiness through their tail, but also make different curves with their mouth when they are happy, something that can be interpreted as a smile.

So you’re not crazy, dogs smile. When you play with your furry one and see him happy and think you’re crazy for believing he smiles, no, you’re not crazy.

The smile of dogs reflects their happiness, their deepest feelings and emotions. The first to “promote” the smile of dogs was a well-known Nobel Prize: Konrad Lorenz. It all happened on a day when he was playing with his pet. He swore he saw his dog smile, so he explained in his book “And the Man Found the Dog” that a dog’s smile transforms his face and makes him pull his tongue a little.

Something very similar to our laughs! Although it is obvious that a dog will never laugh like us, as it cannot make the same sounds. The question is:

How do dogs laugh?

This topic has been studied by experts on dogs and their behavior. For example, Patricia Simonet, one of these experts, had a brilliant idea. Record the “laughter” of the dogs. She gathered several furry ones and recorded the sounds they made as they played and had fun.

What she found was surprising: not only do they pant differently while having fun, much more than that, they infect other dogs! When a dog smiles, others follow it. Who can deny that laughter is contagious?

Furthermore, Simonet thought that these recordings might have a more beneficial use than a simple study. He thought that, if he used them in canine shelters, the sounds of these dogs’ smiles could infect those who were mistreated or abandoned. And that’s what happened! The mood of the dogs that were in centers and shelters changed for the better when they listened to the recordings.

Anything more than a smile?

There are scientific studies that claim that, in addition to smiling, dogs have their own sense of humor. How they channel or use it with others, whether humans or dogs, is still being studied.

What is certain is that animals can show joy and happiness with a smile. And to think that we always believed they could show emotions with just their tails!

How can you get a smile out of your dog?

We all love it when our pets are happy, but we know that we need to give them our time and energy, and sometimes our patience.

However, they say that all the effort for a smile is always worth it. If you want to see your dog smile, just take some time to:

• Play with him. A dog needs to play, run, jump and feel that he has you to keep up with him. Take him to a place where he can run free, where you can chase him, play a ball, or even be with other dogs. If you’ve never seen him smile, have a camera handy, because with a play session he won’t take long to give you a smile as a gift.
• Pamper him. Take time to pamper him, to say nice things to him, to hug him. You will see that before you even know it, he will give you a smile as a gift.
• Massages. Do some massages from time to time on your furry hair, it’s possible that the pleasure they bring you will make you smile sooner than you think.

We already know that there will always be debates around this topic, but, as we have seen, it has been proven that dogs can smile and this smile is reflected in all of their faces. Don’t waste time and do your best to win a smile from the dogs!
