** The Fifth Doctor was capable of this look, although in his case it was often more of a HeroicBSOD than puppy-dog eyes.

** Him being a CosmicPlaything, Rory's big eyes can look permanently sad.

** The Eighth Doctor puts on a particularly [[LargeHam hammy]] show of puppyish begging at one point in [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie the movie]], when Grace introduces him to a guy who could possibly help get him to the MacGuffin. Also useful for getting Grace to go along with his [[YouHaveToBelieveMe ridiculous bullshit]] for the next five minutes until she [[ArbitrarySkepticism freaks out and stops believing him again]].

* ''Series/PersonOfInterest''. Subverted when John Reese puts his on, as he's usually being sardonic. Played straight with [[AngryGuardDog Bear]], as he's an actual dog.

* ''Series/TeenWolf'':
** The main character, [[HonorBeforeReason Scott]] [[TurntheOtherCheek McCall]] has the most goddamn adorable big brown puppy-dog eyes. Add to that his heart-melting smile, and you have to either be A) heartless, or B) [[MamaBear Mama]] [[ActionMom McCall]] to not succumb to it. Kate Argent, the ''most'' heart''less'' character on the show, cannot resist them and says, "you, with the adorable brown eyes(, drop your bike, you're staying for dinner) " and "...because I ''really'' do love those '''''adorable brown eyes'''''." [[spoiler: Although once Kate finds out Scott's secret, well...if you saw Code Breaker, you'd know.]][[http://49.media.tumblr.com/a0102c5952a6cfd99e2371e3145a8f44/tumblr_mzqpznMfmm1qff77eo1_250.gif]] [[https://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m90ta1AkSe1qlkhfco1_r1_500.gif]][[http://33.media.tumblr.com/833dcd5b068912fd0ec5b8053692334e/tumblr_naojk2ErAv1tegdkmo8_250.gif]] [[http://49.media.tumblr.com/09099b48331dc4e4ec7a65ce355040b2/tumblr_ns4fu5bsUZ1ubw95ko1_500.gif]] [[https://secure.static.tumblr.com/f9eb2f3b1845a3d4dd7b24efc876c1e2/qzomzvg/Zoont9i2l/tumblr_static_filename_640_v2.gif]]
** Puppy enjoying a ride in the Jeep: [[http://www.purefandom.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Scott-Teen-Wolf.png]] and Puppy Head Tilt: [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/61e4ab6094d09e5fee5afe2348747b37/tumblr_inline_nslca9WsKa1qzu7jv_500.gif]] Not even Jackson is [[StealthPun immune]] - this is basically what Scackson's relationship would be: [[http://baconhells.tumblr.com/post/82111504885]] Seriously, [[AllLovingHero Scott McCall]] is sunshine and puppies in human form.
** Scott's MuggleBestFriend Stiles is also no slouch in this department with huge, golden, doe eyes [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/8f/3a/32/8f3a32e2ea837f6aa18e44b7f4c18ec2.jpg]] [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/49/8c/dc/498cdc19c27b9d67b7ea7a9eea6646da.jpg]] [[http://cdn.quotesgram.com/small/99/64/175494249-tumblr_static_stiles_beaten_up_sad.gif]] [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/8a/76/cd/8a76cda0d475839cd6bd0320cbd068b1.jpg]] that have drawn more than a few comparisons to bambi. The fact he's the token human and usually the most vulnerable of the pack helps the appeal. [[spoiler: When he's possessed by the nogitsune spirit, it actually uses said puppy eyes to it's advantage to con people into believing Stiles is still in control of himself and make them take pity on him.]]
** Despite having more hazel-green eyes, Derek Hale is quite skilled at this.
** Isaac; especially when [[spoiler: Derek kicks him out of his pack]], and after [[spoiler: Allison dies and he goes home with her dad. (Mr. A. goes on about how he can compartmentalize his emotions, and Isaac says, "But ''I'' '''can't'''!" It would take a meaner person than Mr. A. not to hug him.]]

** Jeremy Gilbert, Tyler Lockwood, and Klaus and Kol Mikaelson are all highly skilled at this.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** Buffy's puppy-dog eyes are legendary, especially when coupled with the pout. Lampshaded in the show premiere of ''Series/{{Angel}}'', where Doyle refers to Buffy as "Miss Young Puppy Eyes" when giving [[MrExposition Angel's back story.]]
** Giles was accused of this once by Jenny Calendar. And when he replies "I didn't mean to make 'dog-eyes' at you..." it has the same effect on her.
** Buffy tries the wounded look on Giles, to get out of training and go to a party. He resists, but just barely.
-->'''Giles:''' And, and don't think sitting there pouting is gonna get to me, because it won't...
-->'''Buffy:''' (sits there pouting)
-->'''Giles:''' [[BlatantLies It's not getting to me.]]
** Part of Willow's {{Woobie}} appeal is her ability to do this. Must be something about Creator/AlysonHannigan. As Creator/JossWhedon put it -- "There is nothing more painful in the world than Aly when she makes her big eyes."
** Angel. At least one review of the show placed at least part of the shows success on David Boreanaz's ability to always look like a slapped puppy.
** Connor inherited this look from Angel.

** Lampshaded in the show premiere of ''Series/{{Angel}}'', where Doyle refers to Buffy as "Miss Young Puppy Eyes" when giving [[MrExposition Angel's back story.]]

** Davis Bloome played by SamWitwer in ''Series/{{Smallville}}''. [[spoiler:Sure when he hulks out he could tear you limb from limb but when he's normal]] he's got the biggest, most endearing puppy dog eyes in the cast.

** Blaine Anderson ({{Darren Criss}}) has puppy eyes that can make you coo more than if you were watching bunnies and kittens cuddle.

** Occasionally Richard Hammond. Might not be deliberate: his eyes are naturally large and he quite literally looks up to the very tall Jeremy Clarkson. Clarkson likes to lampshade it by pointing out Hammond's resemblance to "that cat in ''{{Shrek}} 2''."

** Castiel pulls off this look, particularly when he's confused by something, from his very first appearance--probably one of the main reasons he's so popular in the show.

* In an episode of ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'', Martin Qwerly used this effect with his BrownEyes to convince Ned of helping him with different school activities.

** Sherlock himself. BenedictCumberbatch is inhumanly talented at this look.

** Scott's MuggleBestFriend Stiles is also no slouch in this department with huge, golden, doe eyes [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/8f/3a/32/8f3a32e2ea837f6aa18e44b7f4c18ec2.jpg]] [[http://cdn.quotesgram.com/small/99/64/175494249-tumblr_static_stiles_beaten_up_sad.gif]] [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/8a/76/cd/8a76cda0d475839cd6bd0320cbd068b1.jpg]] that have drawn more than a few comparisons to bambi.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120802033542/glee/images/2/2a/Puppyeyes.gif Arya Stark]]. Subverted when she does it to put a soldier off his guard [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior before stabbing him to death]]. Actually that gif is a similar case -- she's imploring a ProfessionalKiller to bump someone off then and there.
