===Smile Dog===
===Smile Dog===
Smile Dog is an internet urban legend and meme that gained popularity in the early 2000s. The legend revolves around a photograph of a dog with an unnaturally wide, human-like smile, which is often depicted as tan or yellowish-brown with black or dark brown eyes and straight ears. According to the legend, the image has a number of psychological effects on those who view it, including nightmares, hallucinations, paranoia, anxiety, and even suicide. Some versions of the legend suggest that the image is so powerful that it can cause physical harm to those who view it. The legend suggests that the dog is a manifestation of an evil entity, and its image has the power to drive people to insanity. The origin of Smile Dog is unclear, as the legend has evolved over time and there are many variations of the story. However, it is generally believed to have originated on the internet in the early 2000s, possibly on image-sharing websites like 4chan or Creepypasta forums. One of the earliest known versions of the legend was posted on the paranormal-themed website Creepypasta Wiki in 2008, where it quickly gained popularity and spread to other corners of the internet. The origins of the photograph are also uncertain. Some versions of the legend claim that the image was created as part of a government experiment or by a disturbed artist, while others suggest that it was originally a real photograph of a dog that had been digitally altered to create the creepy smile. However, the oldest known image linked to the story is the one shown above, which was posted on the /x/ (paranormal) forum of the imageboard 4chan in 2008.

That original version of the Smile Dog story on Creepypasta Wiki describes a supposed urban legend about a mysterious image file named "smile.jpg." According to the legend, the image is cursed and has the power to drive those who view it to insanity and even death. The story follows the perspective of a narrator who is contacted by a mysterious stranger named Mary E., who claims to have found the cursed image file and is seeking the narrator's help in spreading the word about its dangers. Mary E. shares her own experiences with the image, describing vivid and terrifying hallucinations that drove her to the brink of madness. As the story progresses, the narrator becomes increasingly obsessed with the image and its supposed powers, eventually viewing it himself and experiencing his own terrifying hallucinations. The story ends with the narrator passing the curse of the image on to another unsuspecting victim, perpetuating the legend and the cycle of fear and madness it creates. The exact origin of Smile Dog is unclear, and there are many variations of the story. According to a Brazilian YouTuber called Pedrocultas, the origin of the creepypasta Smile.jpg is attributed to Michael Lutz. It was first posted on the /x/ (paranormal) forum of the imageboard 4chan in 2008. The oldest known image linked to the story is the one shown above, according to the occult-related blog Aether Paranormal.
