Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for February 23, 2012

OK, how does this silly jester my Poncho sell cookies? You smart folks explain please.

Poncho has trained the kid to make “Doggy Eyes”.. so that the customer falls for the “cuteness”… :)

Poncho is pointing at his eyes, and the girl then gives the customer sad puppy eyes. The customer melts and buys a bunch of cookies.

ok, that makes sense.

It took me awhile to get this one – I thought Poncho was motioning to the man in the house and not the girl scout.

Anyone who’s ever had a dog knows how they give you those big sad eyes when they want you to do something for them. That’s what the girl learned from Poncho.

Those sad puppy eyes got me out of many a scrape as a little girl. I had an advantage. My hair was light blonde, and my eyes were huge and dark brown. I was sad when I grew up to be a brunette. I could have landed a much better husband!

i’ll go with the doggy eyes

Is it just me or is Poncho making the sign that the girl guide is crazy?

Poncho the little grifter.

Works every time on me now the secret is out.

The little girl sneaks a sideways look at Poncho then makes the sad eyes. I had to study it for a second or two, then I read the comments to see who got it. Watch the girl’s eyes when she shifts her eyes sideways.

@jaeldid66I love brunettes myself. I’d say your husband is a lucky guy!

I took a 2nd look and she IS using the power of sad puppy eyes!!!
