This π₯Ί emoji shows a pleading, submissive expression with big, shiny eyes. It is used to ask for something, like money or to borrow a car. Often, the doggy look is the last weapon you need to get what you want when words are not enough. The emoji can also be used to express affection, admiration or emotion through a loving gesture. Forgiveness, compassion and hope are other associations. At its peak, the pleading face was the third most popular emoji on Twitter and was most often found in heart tweets. It is sometimes used in combination with pointing hands to represent a shy or reserved pose (π₯Ίππ).
