World Smile Day is celebrated every year on the first Friday of October. The idea for the day when humanity flashes its collective pearly whites was the brainchild of U.S. artist Harvey Ball, who was no stranger to facial expressions of joy. Ball created the Smiley Face in 1963.

Today, October 7, 2011, marks the thirteenth World Smile Day. The theme for the day is: “Do an act of kindness, help one person smile.”

The best way to achieve this is, of course, is with a gallery of smiling animals!

Enjoy.
