Maybe She’s Born With It

Cutetropolis reader AB, best known for sharing photos of her adorable Frenchies Grogu and Rey, has some new photos of a girl whose eyelashes are batting a thousand:

It’s well known that animators love to give “girl” animal characters long, flirty eyelashes to distinguish them from their male counterparts. Of course, this practice is silly and unrealistic.

Um, yeah, about that…

This is how I can tell that Mila the cocker spaniel is actually some sort of cyndroid being (probably engineered by Disney) and not an actual dog.

Nope, I’m all real.

I also have my doubts about her brother Theo, who predictably lacks the excess eye fringe.

Same dog looks at you. a darker cocker Spaniel dog sits in the background
Him? He’s just an AI hallucination.

Reader Laura H. writes: “Mike, this is a picture I took the other day of our cocker spaniel Sebastian. He’s is nearly 5 years old (in spite of the grey on his muzzle), and to our complete delight, he’s been approved to join his sister Melody the greyhound as a therapy dog! In fact, this is his ID photo for the therapy group, Paws for Friendship. We adopted him about a year ago, and he’s become a fun and hilarious member of the family. And he has a great nose, doesn’t he?”

The rest of me’s pretty cute too!
