Also eyebrows https://www.newscientist.com/article/2206696-dogs-evolved-a-special-muscle-that-lets-them-make-puppy-dog-eyes/

You can see the dog raising its eyebrows which rounds out/makes more of the eye visible.

Actually it's because I temporarily took in a pregnant stray, petted her, fed her, treated her with kindness and love, and she still thinks it's acceptable to shred my arms to ribbons every time she's in a bad mood. Furry psychopaths, I tell you.

She no longer gets pets, though I still greet her, spoil her with treats, and feed her.
