The hooman life is a hard one, and with time it can feel like there is less and less to smile about. Thankfully our fulfilled doggo darlings have got more than enough to smile about and have donated some of those sweet smiles to raise you up ahead of the weekend.

Doggos are truly blessed in this life. If we would have it our way, we would want to come back as a doggo and only a doggo. Could you imagine the joy of waking up each and every day with food accounted for, a house to live in for free, all the love in the world from your pawrents and all the wonders of getting to go outside and enjoy the natural surroundings of a park. And even when you are left alone all day, you simply enjoy the silence and the licence to nap that you were born with and sleep the day away until your beloved hooman comes back home.

That is more than enough happiness to be able to share some of it around and considering it is closing in on the end of your working week, we figured this would be the pawfect time to share some of that wholesome happiness with you. After all, you do not want to roll out of bed on Saturday morning feeling sour and drained, you want to feel as energized as though you had spent the morning running around a field with your fur baby. Lit up emotionally from seeing your pupper play so vivaciously, and with that we leave you with these lovely smiling doggos. May your weekend be full of doggo delight and a lot of TLC, you more than deserve it.

You know, we actually have a hunch that this guy was taught to smile in order to get treats. Of course the smile is not all too natural but judging by the look in this pupper’s eyes, he’s gonna be getting some treats.

She’s a good girl and she knows it. The best kind of pupper smile is the one of a good boy or girl who is filled to the gills with pride in their pawrents’ love for them.

The concept of a smile is hard to explain and seeing how each one of us has such a unique smile about them, it is only natural that doggo smiles would also exist upon a spectrum. This one seems to be a little closer to sneezing than smiling but we’ll take it.

We have never quite seen a doggo who is as satisfied with his hat situation as this one. It is a truly inspawrational sight to come across and one that enjoys a subtle, albeit pride filled smile.
