An open mouth with a panting tongue is a common sign of happiness, especially after exercise or play. However, it is important to note that panting can also be a sign of heat stress or other health problems.

Soft eyes are another sign of a happy dog. Dogs with soft eyes will often make eye contact with their owners and their eyes will be relaxed and open.
