"Puppy Dog Eyes" is an incredibly powerful semi-magical technique named after the puppies who so regularly practice it.
Training
The Puppy Dog Eyes can be learned by any creature which possesses one or more eyes (though amongst most mammalian life-forms two is the most effective number)and some deal of innate cuteness. One must focus this cuteness inside oneself and then outward through the eyes and into the eyes of another being in order for the technique to be effective. Some creatures are cute enough that they never have to practice the technique: they are so cute that cuteness is constantly leaking out their eyes, eliminating the need to focus it. Creatures of lesser cuteness usually battle their reflections in the mirror, building their ability to focus the power of their cuteness until they can persuade their reflection to go get them a cookie.
Effects
The effect of focused cuteness on the part of any creature is to reduce the capacity of the target to oppose a course of action preferred by the cute creature. The Puppy Dog Eyes are no exception, and can be used to persuade just about anyone (who can see) to do just about anything. Through use of the Puppy Dog Eyes, the cute one focuses their cuteness into the proper spectrum to harmonize with the guilt and sympathy centers of the subject's brain (creatures immune to guilt and/or sympathy are highly resistant to the Puppy Dog Eyes). The amount of willpower it takes to resist the Puppy Dog Eyes is highly variable (it depends on both the cuteness of the Eyer and the skill with which the Eyeing is performed), but if the Puppy Dog Eyes can be held for a long enough duration anyone will crack under them.
Victims of the Puppy Dog Eyes will do whatever the Eyer asks of them, and if the Eyer asks nothing they will ask several questions (such as, "What do you want, boy?", "Are you hungry?", "What's wrong?", "Aren't you a cute widdle schnooky-wookums?", "Nngumfuzzle?", "Whooza whooza whooza!" and "WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?! STOP STARING AT ME! ...please stop staring at me? Please....AAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAH! MAKE IT STOP! I'LL DO ANYTHING! WHAT DO YOU WAAAAAAANT?!") in an effort to decide what nice thing they should do on the Eyer's behalf.
Staredowns
On rare occasions two incredibly cute creatures will both try to use the Puppy Dog Eyes on each other at the same time. Such contests usually last until one Eyer cracks under the strain and succumbs to the other or breaks off and flees. Any creature walking directly between the two is subject to being driven horribly insane by the conflicting cutenesses, even if it meets neither combatant's eyes.
