Set to soft, soulful music, the TikTok clip shows the beautiful newfie lying down and laying on thick the full force of his signature puppy-dog glare that has his owner questioning their self-control when it comes to conceding. "Ya, he'd get his way on EVERYTHING!!🥰," declared one watcher in the comments section, followed by another who stated, "It's just not fair, I would be totally manipulated."

So, the only real question left is whether anyone ever stood a chance in the first place. Because, honestly, if those eyes were fixated on you, you'd probably cave too!

Newfoundlands are known for their expressive eyes

Newfoundland dogs are known for their expressive, soulful eyes, which are usually big and brown, a little sunken, and spaced far apart, giving them a sweet, thoughtful look and human-like expressions. Call them masters of the "puppy-dog eyes," if you will.

People often feel as though newfies are using their eyes, facial expressions, and body language to communicate, making it seem like they understand exactly what you're thinking or saying — or even trying to tell you how they feel. Disappointed when a walk ends too soon? Sad you didn't give them a taste of your dinner? Those newfie eyes are right there, watching, waiting, judging. But beyond the cuteness of the intense stare, there's a purpose, as the breed is known to be hardworking and watchful companion animals that are highly observant. So, their steady, attentive gaze is always tracking their surroundings and favorite people with a quiet sense of care.
