All dogs are adorable, but smiling dogs are exceptionally adorable.

No matter how sad or upset you are, one look at those cute puppy dog faces, and all your worries simply fade away. We don’t know for sure if a dog's smiles correspond to our smiles; even the experts can’t say with great certainty.

But let’s face it, we don’t need experts to tell us what we already know about dogs. Dog eyes don’t lie.

You can fake a smile with your lips, but never with your eyes. These overwhelmingly happy, smiling dog photos should be prescribed by doctors daily.

When a challenge emerged on the Dog Spotting Society Facebook group, it immediately went viral. With 20K challenge contributors, the #SmilingDogChallenge is one of the most adorable things you can find online these days.

We have selected 30 of the best dog photo submissions, providing a daily, weekly, and monthly dose of pure puppy happiness.

Daniel is one of the challenge participants. He is the owner of this lovely mini Australian shepherd called Zero. Zero's photo has garnered more than 18k likes. Plus, he is a rising social media dogfluencer with around 3.4k followers on Instagram.

Daniel is not entirely sure whether canines smile like people, but he's confident that it resembles our smiles a lot. When it comes to Zero, he says that "sometimes he'll just stare at me, and I'll call him a good boy, and he gives me that sweet look."

The adorable blue-eyed shepherd will turn one year old soon. Daniel mentioned that the boy is very dramatic and incredibly vocal. "At the same time, he's incredibly sweet. Zero also loves to find mud and anything wet to roll in, and he is very dramatic if he can't climb onto something or if he sees someone he loves."

27. "Just A Sleepy, Smiley Hippo Pup And Her Hippo"
