I swear to god, Psyche smiles.
I talked to her first owner, and she said that it's something she's done all along - but mostly with the kids. I guess she really liked the kids, and that's where she did most of her smiling.
I've seen her do it at least 3 times today, and 2 or 3 times yesterday. She just lifts her jowels and shows her teeth, and her tail gets wagging real hard...
None of the others do this - and I'd never seen a dog do it before. We had talked about how cute it'd be if we trained one to, but I'd never seen it.
I'm thinking I'll add a command to her smiling once I figure out exactly what triggers it, because if all goes well, I'd like to do some therapy work with her, and I think the smile would be a real hit where ever I took her.
Does anyone else here have a smiling dog?
ETA: Dang! Wrong section... But I suppose we could take it from here and go with it...
To add to the post: Does anyone have pictures of thier smiling dog smiling? (I've been trying to get one of Psyche, but can't seem to)
