Grandpa Ken Tried to Take a Nice Selfie on the Porch. Mochi Made Sure She Was the Star.

On a bright porch with weathered gray boards, Grandpa Ken leans in close for a picture, his face crinkled into a warm, gentle smile. He wears a cream cable-knit sweater vest over a light blue shirt, his glasses catching the daylight. But the real star is Mochi. Held snugly in front of him, the fluffy cream Havanese looks straight ahead with sparkling dark eyes and a wide, open-mouthed grin, pink tongue showing, as if she has been practicing for this moment all week. A few potted succulents sit on the porch behind them.

That happy, open-mouthed expression is one many Havanese owners know well. The breed is famous for its cheerful, outgoing personality, and Havanese often seem to love being the center of attention. They are sometimes described as clownish because of their playful antics. To capture a dog's best expression in a picture, try natural light, get down to their eye level, and use a favorite toy or a soft sound to get their attention. Keep it short and fun, and reward your dog afterward so picture time stays a positive experience.

Ken looks proud and content, and Mochi looks like she knows exactly how adorable she is. Together, they make a picture worth keeping.

Some moments deserve to be saved, and a happy dog's smile is always one of them.
