Smile Dog Headcanons - Tumblr Posts
I do not care for a lot of more popular creepypasta characters, Jeff, Laughing Jack, etc. I dont like what a lot of people do with them, and I generally think they're uninteresting. BUT. I do like Smile Dog. Hes a dog, you can't go wrong with him. So, i would be deeply appreciative if I could get some headcanons for him acting like a regular dog with some hellish attributes, just having a normal time entertaining himself and being a Dog in between killing or cursing or whatever popular consensus says he does. Thank you!
Smile Dog is definitely an interesting one! Thanks for the request <3

It's no secret to everyone that Smile looks like he belongs in one of the Insidious movies, what with his hellish features and eerie, human-like grin that could give even the bravest person nightmares.
It's also no surprise that he does this very thing with his victims, in quite a simple way.
Much like Ben and Slenderman, he works on the human mind, twisting and manipulating it until all it can think about is the fear of death, the never-ending hallucinations, and the sadistic dreams. This in turn makes the person a wreck until they either forward his daunting picture onto someone else or just die some brutal death.
However, despite his terrifying hobby and freaky appearance, he really is just your typical pooch that craves attention.
He wouldn't normally choose to answer to some inferior human being and be their pet, but Jeff is an exception. Not only does he get his blood lust, but the two have similar energy levels and they just understand each other.
Sure, Smile can't speak, at least not verbally, but somehow Jeff still knows exactly what he wants when he wants it. Besides, with someone giving him all the free affection and food that he could ever ask for, why would he want to go anywhere else?
He's a highly intelligent animal - if he could even be called that - and he's very picky over who he does and does not like. Meaning that the only favorable people living within the walls of Slender Manor just happen to be Jeff, Sally, and Liu, though the latter mainly due to the fact that he tends to give him a doggy treat each time that they see each other, and Smile has never been one to pass that up.
When Jeff isn't around, Smile enjoys spending time with Sally, and they've grown such a bond that he can get very protective over her if someone ever tries to lash out in any way, be it vocally or physically. Just because she's a ghost doesn't mean she can't be guarded. And what better guard than the overgrown Husky himself?
His favorite activity would have to be going on missions with Jeff, especially those that involve chasing sessions. Something about running a person down, catching them by the leg, and hearing their cries of pain and fear just puts a sense of fulfillment into him.
He doesn't like Grinny Cat, but he finds it fun running him around the house until someone more caring and in tune with the situation interferes. This is almost always either Liu, Jane, or Hoody, believe it or not.
Smile has perfected the art of fetching and has even learned how to catch the stick\frisbee in mid-air. He's also fully trained, knowing the simple tricks like "roll over", "sit", and "shake", and the more impressive ones such as "flip", "open the door", and Jeff's personal favorite; "bring me (insert whatever random thing he wants at the moment)". Smile obeys without hesitation.
Is it strange that a homicidal maniac and a hellhound that curses people on the internet has such a strong bond with each other? Perhaps. But having that ensures that neither is lonely, no matter what may be happening in the world. Smile would like to keep it that way.
