Is this the new Grumpy Cat? Miserable puppy wins two MILLION fans with sad expression
THIS dog encapsulates that Monday morning feeling perfectly.
This is Earl - possibly the internet's most grumpy puppy
When you think of puppies, the image of a cute, loveable, bouncing dog with soft fur and a smiling face jumps to mind - right?
Wrong. Check out these hilarious new pictures of Earl - the very, very grumpy puppy.
A picture of the miserable pooch went viral after his owner posted a snap of his grumpy face to social news website Reddit.
The picture shows Earl sporting his best sullen expression and quickly gained more than two million views - something even Kim Kardashian struggles to do.
The little pooch looks grumpy because of an underbite
But rather than poke fun at the puppy, the internet fell in love with five-month-old Earl and got busy creating memes and making comparisons to celebrities such as Samuel L Jackson.
One user, grundo1561, commented on the picture, saying: "This dog looks like he pays taxes."
Famous Earl's long-suffering owner Derek Bloomfield, 25, decided what the world needed to get it through a rainy start to the week was more pictures of Earl's fabulously grumpy face.
Derek's mission is to prove his downcast dog is internet sensation Grumpy Cat's new rival.

The owner, from Iowa, USA, claims, despite his sulky face, Earl is super friendly to other humans and dogs.
His expression is merely down to an underbite.
His breed - pug and beagle mix - also contributes to his looks. He is a second generation puggle meaning both his parents were also crossbreeds.
Earl's face has certainly brighten up our day - could he be the new Grumpy Cat?
