    Fun Fact: While most canines have eyebrow movements dogs are the only one that have wide range of movements meaning their evolution also included emotional manipulation of humans. Source: people around who makes an owwww sound when they see the puppy eyes.

      Yes they actually developed an extra set of eye muscles to make the puppy eyes.

      I love dogs so much. I am so sad I can’t have one now because i am renting.

      And it’s such a joy. There are very few things in life that make me as giddy as seeing a dog look at something bizarre, look back at you and then raise a fucking eyebrow.

    What term, “weiner dog”?

    It’s actually a funny story, originally it was “Vienna Dog”, but through slang the pronunciation became “Weiner Dog” over the years

      I think the referenced term is “puppy face.”

      Also sometimes called puppy-dog eyes or puppy pout.

      Edit: However, I was interested to learn the etymology you shared.

      This puppy really is an itsy-witsy little Vienna Sausage doggie, isn’t it?

      Irresistible.

      That’s interesting! I have dachshunds, and didn’t know that. I can’t wait to tell them while I give them scritches
