Things To Do This Week.

Jesus Take The Wheel.

If you happen to be a well-trained golden retriever from China, it likely takes little more than being given the right command to make you smile. That seems to be the case for a pup named Dior who went viral this week thanks to some of his smiling online videos.

For the rest of us — and let's face it, you're reading this, so you probably fall into this latter camp, but hey, what do we know, you could be the world's first dog that can read, and that'd be pretty cool, and you should probably go ahead an email us because we'd love to break that story — it takes a lot more than being told to smile to make them pearly whites appear. We've put together a little list, though, that should help you do just that.
