First posted on Facebook, went ballistic on Redd it.

Maureen's parents got Riley when he was just 4 weeks old, and have treated the smiling star as one of the family ever since. When Maureen moved back home from college, she noticed the new family pet displaying his now famous human-like expressions. She admits that he has a lot of different looks and this particular one was caught just at the right moment. Now he is known the world over as Smiley Dog, Stoner Dog, etc. Whatever name he goes by it's cute as can be and makes me want to go out and find a Bichon-Frise-poodle mix of my very own. How many other dog lovers (millions?) do you think experienced the same desire when they saw this picture? How many do you actually think went out and got themselves a Bichon Frise-poodle mix just like Riley? Did you?
