A photogenic dog has gained hoards of fans by showing off her smile for the camera.
Olive the cavapoo—a mix between a poodle and Cavalier king Charles spaniel—has a unique skill: smiling on command for the camera.
Her dedicated TikTok account, @nellie.and.olive, is filled with videos of the dog flashing a smile, along with adventures to the park and getting showered with affection from her owner, Nellie.

Now Olive is delighting thousands of complete strangers, after a video of her sharing her smile went viral.
Posted on July 3 and viewed a staggering 1.4 million times, the simple clip sees the dog walking up to her owner, as Nellie urges her: "Say cheese!"
And Olive immediately knows what to do: she sits down, looks directly at the camera, and flashes a smile that would make any picture day photographer proud.
Nellie can be heard laughing behind the camera, and she tells the dog to "say cheese again"—and this time, Nellie flicks her head, showing off her best side as she poses for the camera as well as any human.
It appears Nellie may have bribed her dog with treats to share her special smile, as she wrote in a caption: "Cheese for cheese."
TikTok users loved it, awarding the video more than 360,000 likes, as one commenter joked: "I know she got a good credit score."
Another laughed: "She got Invisalign," while one comented on her adorable "pearly whites."
"Better than my driver's license photo," another admitted.
And when one commenter asked, "What toothpaste and brush do you use for her teeth?" Nellie replied: "She's all bizz she just got her braces off."

Poodles known for being highly intelligent and able to pick up tricks—even just showing off for the camera on demand—easily, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). The breed thrives when it has an activity to work on, such as obedience training. Meanwhile Cavaliers are known for their affectionate and gentle nature, getting along with adults, small children, and other dogs, making them a popular choice as a family pet.
