Look at this like this, a simple picture of Smile Dog, even the ones that aren't the original are strong enough to send it's curse without any decrease in it's effectiveness, aka Spread the Word in three day or your dead.

So you can Imagine that Smiles has the power to make his own visage a literal never-ending curse no matter what it's source. Now imagine meeting the source of that curse. The caster of a self-sustaining spell that can only be dispelled by passing a picture of it to another being. What can you do if you meet the original in the flesh/fur/whateveritsmadeof. How do you fight against something that kills you not just physically, but metally.
