Have you heard about Meatball, the rescue dog with the adorable grin? He's a ham for the camera, and the camera loves him!

Lisa Reilly adopted her dog, Meatball, from Fresno Bully Rescue. She told ABC News that she fell in love with him because of his amazing smile. "I just don’t know how you could not laugh every time he’s around!" Now, thanks to Lisa's Instagram account, Meatball's smile entertains a world of fans.

The pit bull gets his name partly from his roundness (he's 14 inches high and weighs 70 pound) and partly from the fact that he loves to eat. He's a dog who appreciates a good treat, too, so he gets excited about the camera, because taking pictures means getting treats.

Meatball stars in a myriad of fun pictures on her mom's Instagram account, full of cute poses and adorable costumes. Whether he's getting ready to brave the weather in his doggie raincoat or relaxing in zipper-pajamas, he's delighting his fans. And he really appears to be smiling!

Meatball's obviously a family dog, and his sibling dogs appear in some of his photos. He's also seen kayaking and working in the kitchen with his human family members. He dressed up for Star Wars Day and tried on wedding flowers. And he spends time chilling on the couch with Lisa as they wear their matching "Fresno Bully Rescue" t-shirts.

It's a great day when something as simple as a genuinely happy dog can send smiles across the world. Thank you, Lisa, and thank you, Fresno Bully Rescue, for helping Meatball's smile inspire our own. Who do you know who needs a smile today?
