Ask an expert in this field why dogs do this and you will receive a complicated answer that involves obedient behavior, automatic answers, etc. He often concludes by saying, "But they don't really smile, at least not for the same reasons we smile."

Ask any dog ​​owner the same question and he will answer with indignation: “Of course he smiles! Just look at this girl, smile right now! "You can't say that's not a smile!"

Looking from both sides, the answers given by the two are equally correct.

In wolves, that expression that we consider a smile is due to nervousness, or a docile behavior like another wolf. Dogs can also interpret the expression "smile" in this way. To recognize his subordinate position, a crooked dog in the corner of his mouth and what to people would seem like a smile.

In reality, the "smile" shows that he will not be aggressive towards the one to whom he "smiles". Dogs you trust rarely smile. They see themselves as our equals and do not feel the need to show their subordination to us. Imagine two people sitting next to each other in a bar. The youngest smiles at the other to avoid a conflict.
