* ChainLetter: The original email that Smile.jpg is spread through is described as one of these, with the subject line 'SMILE! GOD LOVES YOU!' Smile's method of haunting can be seen as a supernatural version of one of these.

->"Could I spread the word?\\
Yes. Yes I could."
-->-- '''The protagonist'''

''Smile Dog'' is a famous {{Creepypasta}} written by an unknown author. It is about a cursed image, Smile.jpg, depicting a polaroid of a husky with human teeth and a SlasherSmile. In another version of the image, Smile Dog appears even more frightening.

The protagonist investigates events caused by Smile.jpg, which the titular Smile Dog is in the form of. He hides in floppy disks and travels through emails.

It turns out that Smile Dog can enter the dreams of those who view Smile.jpg, and drive them to insanity, with them eventually ending up dead.

In order to save themselves, his victims must [[ArcWords spread the word]] by showing the image to someone else, usually through a chain email, resulting in the other person becoming a victim, and so on.
