Video: Dog’s ‘Model Face’ Goes Viral Because of His Goofy Smile

Fashion trends may come and go, but a great smile never goes out of style. While most models spend years perfecting their poses, some pets seem to master them with ease. A dog named Grey is the latest example of this, as a video of his “model face” shows that a goofy smile might be the ultimate accessory.

Grey, a Dalmatian with a growing online fan base, has become known for his signature grin. His Instagram account, @greythedalmatian_, is full of moments where his toothy smile takes center stage, but a video posted on July 18 has drawn particular attention. In it, Grey takes part in the “model face” trend, which originally spread across TikTok and Instagram earlier this year.

The trend is tied to a viral audio, instructing participants to “smile without your eyes, raise your eyebrows, stop smiling — that’s your model face.” While most people try their best to look sleek and polished, Grey puts his own spin on the challenge.

Sitting obediently on the floor, with his tail wagging, he follows along with the audio. When told to smile, he curls back his upper lip to reveal a set of upper teeth in the goofiest yet most endearing way. As the audio moves to the next cue, he attempts to hold a stoic expression before breaking character almost immediately with another toothy smile.

Viewers filled the comments section with praise for Grey’s hilarious take on high-fashion posing. One joked, “Definitely deserves to be on the cover of a magazine”. Another dubbed him “America’s Next Top Model,” referencing the popular reality show. A third kept it short and sweet: “Best model with the best smile.” While the “model face” challenge was created for people, this Dalmatian’s interpretation has given it new life. And, some might say, it completely stole the spotlight.
