Life didn’t start easy for this special boy. At just eight weeks old, Burreaux and his siblings were discovered by animal control, their futures uncertain. The runt of the litter, Burreaux faced an even greater challenge when he arrived at the Humane Society of Northwest Louisiana: a devastating diagnosis of parvovirus, a disease that claims many young puppies’ lives.

But Burreaux wasn’t ready to give up. As shelter staff worked around the clock to save him, this tiny fighter showed a determination that would become his trademark. Against the odds, he pulled through, emerging from his illness with an extraordinary gift – a heart-melting grin that would change his life forever.

Watch Burreaux’s toothy grin in action and see why this smiley pup melted hearts around the world.

“It’s the sweetest thing you’ll ever see,” says shelter volunteer Sarrah Walton. “Whenever someone speaks to him in a gentle, loving voice, his face just transforms. He pulls back his lips in this incredible smile, like he’s saying ‘Please, choose me. I’ll love you forever.'”
