Many dog owners claim their furry friends can smile. However, to the rest of us it seems they’re clutching at straws. While the average pup might look vaguely congenial, Chi is definitely grinning.

It takes nothing to please this Japanese pup. He smiles when he sees his owners, and he smiles even wider when he spots his leash. Walks make him beam, and so does any time with the family.

Next time your friend tries to convince you that Fido is sporting a big doggy grin, show them this video. While there are many impersonators, Chi shows us how dogs really smile!
