He spent lots of time panting heavily and I was concerned that he might have doggy asthma or some other respiratory ailment.

The vet said he was just happy and like many other creatures, he was laughing. My anxiety quickly changed to amazement.

I had no idea dogs laugh. I'm so happy he does though because it keeps me cheery and reminds me to be grateful for the little things in life.

Thank you for sharing this, Judi Lynn. Another great find!
