I'm more of a cat person, but even I can see this poor dog trembling in terror and that looks more like a cringe waiting for a hit from the guy. Am I wrong, dog owners?

I've actually known quite a few dogs who learn to 'smile' in various ways. They usually look more like they are baring their teeth, but I've also seen dogs who learn to pull the corners of their mouth up, like that one is doing.
It's usually a submissive thing. The dog appears to be nervous submissive to its owner.
