Puppy Dog Eyes: Real Life

  • If you've ever had a dog, especially a puppy, you've seen this look.
  • If one lives with a little sister, he or she may find him or herself immune to the effects of puppy dog eyes in later life.
  • Nicolas Cage.
  • Neil Patrick Harris.
  • Paul McCartney... though we are quickly moving into basset hound territory.
    • Ringo Starr, too. These days he keeps them hidden behind a dark-lensed pair of glasses, but they were probably his most noticeable feature in the old days (well, besides the huge schnozz).
  • Played straight and parodied in this lolcats picture.
  • David Tennant.
  • Funnily enough, cats avert this in real life. If a cat ever opens its pupils really wide like Puss is in the page image, it means the cat is tense and/or excited (as in, just about to attack something — possibly you). The cat's way of enticing a human to do something does not involve much direct eye contact at all — they purr and rub their heads/bodies against you or nearby objects.
  • Anton Yelchin.
  • Doug Walker.
