This is the definition of “puppy eyes.”
When dogs express emotion, it’s to the max. Take this jumping Shiba inu for example, or one adorable dog’s reaction to a gift of fruit. When Twitter user @yakamashiinu was chowing down on strawberries, they just had to snap a picture of their dog’s face looking sad and almost betrayed at its own lack of strawberries. Some of the life has even gone out of its eyes. But when offered a strawberry…
▼ …the adorable face on the right happened.
https://twitter.com/yakamashiinu/status/1153604605952942080The pupper’s eyes grew to twice their previous size and filled with hope. “You mean I can have one!?” its expression seems to say. Even its nostrils are prepared, and is that a small doggy smile we see?
The photo has gained a fair amount of circulation on Twitter and even generated a few endeared comments.
“[The change is] so obvious!”
“Its eyes sparkle differently, and it looks like it’s smiling.”
“The rice-looking spot on its mouth is so cute. This healed my heart!”
@yakamashiinu has many more images of this adorable Dachshund in different life situations and has a pretty decent following. While the dog itself is cute, the captions are also pretty humorous at times.
▼ “A dog that doesn’t really eat but has to eat anyway because they’re being watched over.”
https://twitter.com/yakamashiinu/status/1156177780796616704There are also shots of the pup wearing its fiercest guard dog face.
▼ “This is the face they make when they’re watching to make sure it doesn’t get taken by its owner.“
https://twitter.com/yakamashiinu/status/1152391794727849984We don’t know about you, but this dog has stolen our hearts. We even hope it can make an appearance in this dog-walking simulator.
