What term, "weiner dog"?
It's actually a funny story, originally it was "Vienna Dog", but through slang the pronunciation became "Weiner Dog" over the years
I think the referenced term is "puppy face."
Also sometimes called puppy-dog eyes or puppy pout.
Edit: However, I was interested to learn the etymology you shared.
This puppy really is an itsy-witsy little Vienna Sausage doggie, isn't it?
Irresistible.
I thought it is about "aww".
Oh, definitely "aww"
That's interesting! I have dachshunds, and didn't know that. I can't wait to tell them while I give them scritches
