EXETER, New Hampshire — Pets just don't understand. You might be cleaning their cage, giving them medicine, or trimming their nails. Even though you have their best interest in mind, they'll look at you as though you're ruining their lives.

Have you ever been shamed by your pet? Have you ever gotten the sad eyes?

I loved this video because the dog is trying every trick in the book to make its owner stay home. It starts with a sad, disappointed expression. When that doesn't work, the dog resorts to one of the most pained looks I've ever seen. Snout pressed up against the window, upper teeth bared, body sagging like an old plush doll.

According to the video's description, this emotive dog lives in Exeter, New Hampshire.

Do you think you would've been able to say no to that sweet face? I'm not really a dog person, and even I probably would've been compelled to call in sick to work and then go in the backyard to play with that dog.
