20 Goofy Dog Pictures With Big Smiles and Even Bigger Tongues

I love that a dog can look directly into the camera with its tongue hanging halfway out of its mouth and have no concerns about the photo. You are welcome to take as many pictures as you like. Your doggo won't be offended.

A tongue sticking out sideways can make even the most serious dog look ridiculous. Everything else about the dog can look composed. Nice posture, attentive eyes, floppy ears doing whatever ears are supposed to do. But there's that pink little detail and the whole portrait becomes impossible to take seriously. The picture is better now.

Some dogs give you the smallest peek of tongue while others curl it up in a direction you didn't expect. You just have to take a picture of them. So you take a close-up. The face is adorable and your dog moves closer because the phone is interesting for him too… Before you notice, most of the picture is a big wet nose. Your original idea was a portrait. Instead, you got something much funnier, and you have to post it on socials for all dog lovers to see what a good boy you have at home.

Honestly, these pictures deserve to be printed and framed. Posting them on social media is not enough. Let visitors see it in the hallway beside the family photos. I would stop to admire that one every time.

Is there anything more adorable than a happy dog? These dog pictures show big smiles and tongues that make them even harder to resist. Pick the expression that best matches your mood for today. Send it to a friend who could use something silly. Whatever you are doing, I hope a silly dog gets to come along.
