Standing out in a kennel full of rescue dogs desperate to find their forever home can be difficult - but this pup has come up with an adorable way to catch people's attention.
Black labrador Burreaux has been flashing a big smile at everybody who walks past him in the hope of winning over a potential new owner with his cheeky grin.
And the lucky pup's plan has worked perfectly, according to the Mirror.
The pooch was brought to the Humane Society of Northwest Louisiana along with his two siblings after director Courtney Wingate spotted the eight-week-old dog smiling away while visiting an animal control centre.
She named the pups Burreaux, Joe and O after three Louisiana State University Football players.
A spokesperson from Humane Society of Northwest Louisiana said: "Burreaux came to us from Caddo Animal Control with his two siblings.
"He is active, playful and so sweet. He is the runt of the bunch. We have even started teaching him how to play fetch."
Before they could be adopted, the trio had to undergo a routine check up at the vets and although everything came back positive, Burreaux fell ill shortly after he arrived back at the rescue centre.
A spokesperson at Humane Society of Northwest Louisiana said: "Our sweet little Burreaux has parvo! We thought it was only hookworms, but tested positive for parvo.
"He is at our vet now being monitored with fluids, antibiotics and anti-nausea meds and will stay there until he is doing better."
Thankfully, little Burreaux made a speedy recovery and was soon adopted by a couple who couldn't resist his cheeky grin.
His brother and sister also secured their own homes.
Celebrating his adoption, the spokesperson added: "Happy life Burreaux! Our sweet smiling boy who became social media viral with his grin has found his forever!"
Hundreds of social media users shared their well wishes to Burreaux and his new family, urging him to "keep smiling".
One user said: "It warms my heart that this sweet pup now has a forever home. Hope the family enjoys. Many blessings for years to come."
While another added: "Congratulations to you all! Have a awesome life together. Keep smiling, sweet boy."
A third said: "Please take good care of Burreaux. He's a sweetie who needs a good home and a lot of love. Thank you."
