The gist

A woman shared her puppy's weird look when it gets too excited to see the family come home.

When my family comes home, my dog gets so excited her ears flip back and she goes full bald-head puppy... it's ridiculously cute. (Caught mid-blink so her face looks wistful, but she's actually thrilled.)가족들 외출 했다가 집에 오면 반가워가지구 귀가 다 넘어가서 민머리강아지 되는데 이게 너무너무 귀여움... (얼굴은 찰나를 찍었더니 아련하게 보이는데 지금 완전 신난 거임)

💡 Why is 'bald' such a specific insult-turned-compliment here?
A floppy-eared puppy's ears are basically the outline of its whole head — when they blow straight back, the dog momentarily reads as a smooth, hairless blob, which is why owners say the dog 'went bald' instead of 'looked excited'.vs. Reddit: like calling a wide-eyed dog mid-jump a 'gremlin' — an affectionate meme label, not a real complaint.
