Love makes all of us a little extra sometimes — humans and dogs alike. And if you ever need a reminder of just how charming canine affection can be, look no further than a playful Dachshund who has captured hearts online with his endlessly enthusiastic grin every time the object of his affection enters the room.

It’s a small moment, but it radiates joy and raw, uncomplicated love.

In a now-viral video shared by the pup’s family, this little Dachshund pulls out all the stops to get the attention of the woman he clearly adores. Rather than a quiet wag of the tail or a gentle nuzzle, he flashes his teeth again and again — not in aggression, but in a goofy, friendly smile that seems designed purely to impress.

It’s the kind of grin that makes you laugh out loud, because it’s just so unabashedly earnest.

The caption on the clip reads something like: “Point of view, your dog is in love with your roommate. Every. Single. Time.” And as viewers have noted, every time the woman walks by, the pup’s grin lights up, as though he’s trying to say, “Hey… notice me? I’m adorable, right?”

It’s the canine equivalent of a bashful human with butterflies in their stomach — and it’s completely irresistible.



Watchers of the video have responded with delight. “It’s the cutest thing ever!!!” one person wrote after seeing the tiny dog’s massive teeth on display. Another joked that in a doggie dating app, that winning smile would earn a ton of matches.

And others playfully imagined the pup thinking something along the lines of, “You mind… if… I show all 32?” — a line that added even more charm to the whole scene.

Of course, some dog lovers wonder: why would a Dachshund smile like that at all? Experts say that while dogs don’t experience love in exactly the same way humans do, they do have genuine emotional responses that are similar — especially when oxytocin, the so-called “love hormone,” is involved.

When a dog feels safe, connected, and bonded to a person, those physical responses can look a lot like affection, trust, and joy.

What makes this little dog’s behavior especially memorable is how unabashed it is. Instead of a subtle wag or a tilt of the head, he goes full-on showmanship.

The grin is big and confident, a bit goofy, and seemingly designed to show off his personality in the most delightful way possible. If dogs could blush at embarrassment or grin with pride, this pup would be doing both — and then some.

And the best part? The woman he’s trying so hard to impress absolutely adores him right back. The laughter she shares while watching him gives a clear picture: he’s not doing this for food, treats, or commands; he’s doing it because he wants to make her smile.

That’s something every dog owner knows deep down — when a dog chooses you, they show you, whether it’s with a tail wag, a cuddle, or, in this case, an uproariously earnest grin.

In the end, this Dachshund’s antics remind us that love doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just a goofy smile, a joyful heart, and the desire to be seen by the one you adore the most.

And if that doesn’t make you laugh — and maybe even feel a little warm inside — you might want to check your pulse.
