Worried expressions go hand in hand with black dogs:
Same thing with golden eyes.
Happiness is a floppy tongue.
Buttercup flopping more than a Brazilian soccer player.

his eyes are shut, will have to try again later]
This is Copper, our giant Alaskan malamute that passed a little over a year ago. He loved confined spaces.
I know, that freakin’ slew me when I scrolled down! 
He has a pensive face, too.
Still kind of a “lights are on but no one’s home” face 
. I’m sure he’s a total sweetie, though.
Ahhh…so you’ve met Gimli.
He likes catching snowflakes.
I don’t know, in that one he looks to me like he’s contemplating something.
– I just called my black dog over and he looked expectant, not worried. That’s just at that moment, though.
No, but if I did, he’d get all the snuggles he wanted. Might not be a canine Einstein, but he’s still obviously a Very Good Dog. 
Next summer, toss him a couple of small pieces of watermelon. Take pics of his face after he catches one and share them with us.
Watermelon is not bad for dawgs, but it does have a lot of calories. Remove the seeds before tossing fruit. The surprised look on their faces when they caught something but their mouth is empty is pretty funny.
Not that I would ever torment one of my not so smart pets like that, no never.
Gimli looks like the sort of pup who, whatever he make lack in intellectual prowess, more than makes up for it with boundless love and affection. He deserves treats, skritches, and snuggles. And so does Harley, for that matter – apparently the deep thinker of the canine family.
Gimli is the guy in a boy-band who has no musical talent. He’s just there to draw in the chicks.
We saw it at work in this very thread.
My weirdo dog (we think he has early dementia) and where he got himself trapped today:
Cool, he discovered a den!
The only problem is he’s there for a few seconds and starts to panic. We hear soft whining and thumping, and we know Max has trapped himself somewhere again.
Awww.
