puppy dogs
Baby dog pets
Puppy dogs is a warm, affectionate term for puppies—young dogs.
The redundancy adds endearment, the way we might say little baby or kitty cat.
Children often use the term, and adults use it when being playful or sentimental: Look at those puppy dogs in the window.
Puppy dog eyes are wide, pleading eyes that mimic a young dog's expression.
