There are only a few things that can’t be cured by the presence of a dog. Their lovable, cuddly presence alone has been shown to reduce stress and increase dopamine. Can you imagine if they also have a resemblance to the most random movie character—like Grandpa Joe from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (depression cured!)?
Only one pup fits the bill with this specific reference: senior Yorkie, Daisy. She’s one of those dogs who, once you see her smiling face, you’ll go, “Ohhh, I see what you mean!”

Maybe Daisy isn’t exactly a protective watchdog or guardian at her size and age, but she’s got a boatload of personality to make up for it. Her funny grin is meme-worthy in ways even I can’t explain.
“Terrified” isn’t the first word that comes to mind after seeing the video shared by @sydsfinsta, but maybe ridiculously cute is! Not every dog is blessed with an adorably toothy grin, but Daisy was gifted that and then some. Who else can look like the canine version of an iconic character and get away with it the way she does (no one)?

“I’m so obsessed RN, OMG,” one fan wrote in the comments. “I’m in love with her,” another confessed. “The robber would stop to pet such cuteness!!!” another joked.
She has a few other diva looks that others have pointed out. While some compared her to actor Andrew Garfield, this previous clip makes her look more like an emu or ostrich! You be the judge.
More About Sweet Daisy
As a senior Yorkie who’s 14 years young, Mom describes her as “an absolute psychopath” who had most of her teeth removed a few years ago (hence why her tongue is always out). Even at her age, this sassy girl doesn’t like resting, because playtime is life!
She loves digging, like it’ll actually get her somewhere, but hates the pesky jacket she has to wear to stop her from scratching herself. Mom is her bestie, obviously, and she’s just a simple girl with the face of a grandpa. So yes, I’m obsessed now, too!
