My lurcher always grins like a silly cheshire cat when he greets people. Some people are put off by this as we are taught that showing teeth is a sign of aggression. However, Jim is being very friendly and doesn't have an once of aggression in his body. Why is it that some dogs "smile" like this? Is it a form of submission? I know of a labrador and a couple of dalmatians that do this too. Funnily enough Jim does it sometimes to me when I come home but always to a lesser degree than anyone new.
