Pet owners love to teach their dogs new tricks. Run in 1 (2022) Full Pinoy Movie jump, roll over. All the classics. Teaching a dog to smile isn't one of the classics, but maybe it should be.
This week, Rachel Ebel posted a picture of her Dalmatian, Griffin, on Reddit showing off his smile. Ebel, a photographer from South Dakota, had the idea to train her dog to smile after learning it was a unique trait to the breed.

"He loves learning new tricks though, and is always very eager to show them off," she said. "And as a photographer, I thought it'd be especially fitting to have a dog that could 'smile' for the camera."
It was a long hit-or-miss process to train the dog.
"Ever since he was a puppy, I'd make a point to praise him anytime I noticed it," she said.
It was only just a few days ago that Griffin unexpectedly flashed his smile during playtime, and now Ebel says he's a complete pro. And although it's nice to see a happy, smiling dog, it's admittedly a little bit creepy. And Ebel already knows that.
"It's definitely a face that causes some strong reactions," Ebel said. "Most find it hilarious, but I suspect a few are low-key terrified."
Back on Reddit, the reactions to this smiling Dalmatian were just as funny as the photos themselves.
Smiling snarl aside, Griffin definitely is a good boy. And a photogenic one.
Whether it's cute or creepy, what makes Griffin smile the most?
"When I come home after a stretch of travel or an especially long day," Ebel said. "The longer I've been away, the bigger the smile."
