Mini Dachshund breaks the internet for having the most awwdorable smile

Bella smirked her way into our hearts with a simple smile and a lot of love.

We always say that we don't deserve dogs, and we don't, but we certainly don't deserve Bella. She doesn't just walk into a room, she prances. She embraces her one rebellious tooth that refuses to stay tucked inside her mouth, causing her lip to curl into her signature smile. She won the hearts of everyone on the internet thanks to her wholesome face, which is equal parts mischievous and heartwarmingly cute. It's the kind of smile that says: "I didn't do it… but I'd do it again", "Yes, I deserve a treat just for existing", and "You may parade me around in a stroller, if you wish". Her pawsonality shines through in each photo, and we can't help but be infected by her contagiously cheeky grin.

There's no need for a special occasion to scroll through pics of Bella because every day is a good day to smile with Bella. She already captured the attention of dog lovers everywhere, so we thought it's about time you jumped on the Bella bandwagon as well! When it doubt, just smile it out.

Just because she's famous doesn't mean that she's different from any other normal miniature dachshund. She can be stubborn, curious, dramatic, and she is 100% the main character of her own story. She believes the sun rises just to warm her loaf-shaped body, and she's not wrong. Bella has also been described as a world-class cuddler. Like most sausage dogs, she loves to curl up on her pawrents' laps and be doted on. Honestly though, who wouldn't?

There are lots of dogs that have a cute smile, but we think one of the things that made Bella so viral is the fact that she was able to touch people. She made people happy simply by being herself. She made us believe that we deserve the “princess treatment” all the time. With her big eyes and even bigger smile, she made us forget our worries for a few moments and relax. She made us believe that different was beautiful if we learned to accept ourselves. She truly is one of a kind.
