According to Canidae, a dog food company, some dog breeds have markings above their eyes that resemble eyebrows, such as German Shepherds and Rottweilers. While dogs don’t have actual eyebrows, they do have a ridge above their eyes that they can manipulate to express certain emotions, just like humans use their eyebrows.
Canine facial expressions can also give us insight into a dog’s state of mind. Although most dogs don’t have visible eyebrows, they may raise their eyebrows, primarily the left one, and shift their left ear back to show affection. Madame Eyebrows, an English Bulldog, is an expressive dog that has gained a massive following on Instagram. With over 134,000 followers, fans flock to see her recent photos and leave comments sharing their love.
Madame Eyebrows’ Instagram page is also dedicated to her younger brother, Willy, another English Bulldog. In one of their posts, the two dogs are pictured together, with a caption that reads: “How lovely can a dog be to a puppy. What do you think, when Willy is growing up, will he be like a child for Madame Eyebrows or more like a brother?” Most of Madame Eyebrows’ followers agree that Willy is more like a younger brother for the adorable dog.
It’s fascinating to see how dogs can express themselves without the use of actual eyebrows. Madame Eyebrows and other dogs like her demonstrate that dogs have their ways of showing affection and expressing themselves. As pet owners, it’s crucial to understand our dogs’ body language and facial expressions to provide them with the care and love they need. So, next time you see your furry friend raise their eyebrows, remember that it’s their way of showing you love and affection.
