puppy eyes
Begging with looks
Puppy eyes are the wide, pleading expression people make when asking for something or trying to evoke sympathy—mimicking the innocent, imploring look of a young dog: She gave me those puppy eyes and I caved.
The look typically involves raised eyebrows and a slightly pouty lower lip.
Also called puppy-dog eyes.
