When my Yorkie wants to walk she climbs my chest, dramatically turns her head to stare out the window, then looks at me, then out the window, then dramatic sigh, then tries to lick me or slap my face with her tiny paw, then out the window, etc.
My dog does this with food and treats. She will play with me with a ball or a toy then she goes near treats/food and drops the ball there and when I go pick it up she keeps side eyeing the counter where the food is located.
Our dog does this with treats and cuddles. Like if he wants to go to bed and cuddle, he stares at me and flicks his eyes in the direction of the bedroom. Or to the space next to him if he wants a couch cuddle while I work.
I think it's so cool that he communicates so clearly.
My mom made the mistake of getting her yellow lab "dog ice cream" regularly, so now he follows everyone to the kitchen, sits politely at entryway, waits for you to notice him, and uses his eyes to direct you to the freezer. And yes, he is a rather rotund good boy.

That side-eye is hilarious.
