“Puppy dog eyes” and evolution
#1
Awww:



The appeal is undeniable, but science has an explanation. Apparently there are actually eye(lid/surroundings) muscles that dogs have that wolves don’t.

This suggests ancient canines with expressive eyebrows might have elicited nurturing from humans, the authors write, and that care would have given the animals a selection advantage that allowed them to pass on puppy-dog eyes to their descendants...

I knew it- the little dickens! They’re just in it for the steak bones! Why I oughta....I oughta....



Awww....

...what was I saying now?
