Pets who are definitely up to no good have a way of getting out of trouble. The really smart ones pull the "cuteness overload" card because they know we can't possibly get upset when they do.
Stevie, the Golden Retriever, is a total pro at this move. Even when this funny girl isn't doing anything wrong, she uses the sweetest smirk that's a surefire way to avoid any consequences or punishment whatsoever!
Personally, I'm a sucker for dogs aware of how to manipulate our emotions. It's brilliant and adorable, and if you're strong enough to resist this face, congrats, because I could never! Look at Stevie's go-to move!
As the caption says, Stevie "didn't even do anything this time," and yet she's preparing for the worst-case scenario by whipping out that grin just in case. That's another level of intelligence—like something a cat might do.
The Golden Retriever has perfected the expression over time. It's why so many follow her on social media, ready to support whatever she's doing as long as it includes that smirk.
