Dog #272194 at MAS, as depicted in a screengrab from a video on Facebook.I am not a behaviorist but smiling in dogs is generally accepted as an expression of positive emotions and at the very least, a submissive offering.
But at the Memphis pet killing facility, smiling appears to have earned dog #272194 a spot on the kill list. *Memphis shelter pet advocate Jody Fisher inquired about the dog yesterday and a supervisor at MAS responded:

Good morning Ms. Fisher.
Hope you are doing well.
Animal ID # A272194 was moved from our Adoption floor to a kennel in Stray due to some negative behaviors i.e. growling, snarling, showing teeth exhibited during our adoption event last weekend.
The pet was moved to ensure public safety.
Are you interested in pulling this one? If you are, please be advised the pet exhibiting some behaviors suggestive of aggression. Also, if you are interested, you will need to come in no later than close of business today to process this pet out.
Please let me know if you will be in.
Thanks,
De Keishia

Today, Jody asked for 2 business days to network this dog. *She was advised the dog needs to be out of MAS today. *Based on the number of animals the pound currently has listed on PetHarbor, there appear to be roughly 450*empty cages at the facility today.
Screengrab from PetHarbor showing 110 animals listed by MAS on October 21, 2014.Please share this dog with anyone you know who likes smiley dogs * which is everyone on the earth*except*staff at MAS I guess. *She is being kept in a cage behind locked doors at the Memphis pound. *The public is barred from seeing her. *If anyone wants to meet her, they*ll have to find a staff member willing to help. *And because MAS arbitrarily chooses to discriminate against dogs based on body shape, any potential adopter will have to jump through special hoops in order to save this dog. *[/motivational speech] *The pound is open from 1pm to 7pm today:
