Move Over, Grumpy Cat, This Dog Might Just Have The Sourest Expression Of Any Pet In The World

Grumpy Cat’s reign at the top could be in jeopardy now that Early, the Grumpy Puggle, is on the scene.

Although Earl seems pretty grumpy all the time, his Iowa-based owner Derek Bloomfield says the permanent scowl is actually the result of an under bite.

“He has had the grumpy expression from day one. The vet said he’s as healthy as any other puppy,” said Derek.

“He just looks grumpy because of his underbite, wrinkles, and dark complexion,” he continued.

“He is the most relaxed, content puppy [my girlfriend or I] has ever seen,” he said.

“He’s constantly trying to snuggle up to one of us and has us in constant fits of laughter through his facial expressions and mannerisms.”

“He’s a daddy’s boy and loves to pick on his momma.”

Derek and his girlfriend were shocked at how quickly Earl’s pictures went viral.

“We especially enjoyed the various comparisons between Earl and well known people as well as the different memes that were created,” he said, laughing.

Derek reports that Earl is exceptionally smart.

“Whenever he wants something he’ll calmly sit down and stare at us until we ask him the right question. Then he wags his tail in approval.”
