This smiley pup didn't always have much to grin about. Found by Animal Control walking the streets of Fresno, she was suffering from a hernia and sever mange. After being taken in by Fresno Bully Rescue her now owner, Amy Matsushima, saw a video of her at the local vet and was instantly enamoured.
According to IHeartDogs, Amy explained: “She looked miserable but she was wagging her tail and she did have that little smile on her face.
“It just hit me in my heart and I was like, ‘Oh, I have to meet this dog.'”

Since being rescued, her skin conditions healed and her little smile has transformed to a great big beam from ear to ear as she's come out of her shell and fully settled into her forever home.
According to Amy, Lady Shortcake is a big fan of naps – often flashing her grin in order to avoid walks and continue her snoozes – and adores cuddles and playing. Amy reveals that she can't make Shortcake smile on cue though – but that hasn't stopped her from amounting a vast number of Instagram followers with her cheeky grin and a healthy helping of fancy dress costumes and mini adventures.
