Story behind
There are different types of smiles we encounter daily from people around us. “Reward smiles”, such as contentment after working hard and seeing the results; “affiliative smiles” to communicate belonging, good intentions and trustworthiness; “dominance smiles” to assert power and control over others; “polite smiles” as a social courtesy; and “genuine smiles” which involve both the zygomaticus major muscle and the orbicularis oculi, to convey a genuine, positive emotions.  Among all these smiles, I adore the “genuine smile”. It is a kind of smile that does not involve a complicated purpose, and is the purest and lasts the longest in our hearts. Do dogs smile? What kind of smile do they give? A person who can connect to dogs can see genuine smiles from them. They smile simply to seek affection and to show that whenever you are with them, they are the happiest in the world.
