Is Cute in the Eye of the Beholder?
Meet Zeke...
No, not this Zeke:

This Zeke, my fabulous new client:

(Doesn’t it look like he’s grinning?)
In my eight years of training dogs, I’ve never met another Zeke. This gorgeous, clever and oh-so kissable young identity thief is a 16-week old Chocolate Lab:

I can’t say that my Zeke and this Zeke have much in common, other than the fact that they’re both dogs. I’m not too proud to admit that of the two Zeke’s, mine might not be the cutest.
But are we comparing apples to apples here? “Cute” is subjective. (Although we can all probably agree that any puppy is cute, right?) Many people have told me that my Zeke is the homeliest dog they’ve ever met, but I find him completely adorable, crazy eyes and all:

Thoughts, people? Is this the definition of cute:

Or can a catfish-faced dog maintain his title as The Cutest Zeke I Know?

They are both cute in their own ways. I feel your Zeke may be like my Patrick. He's so odd looking that he is irresistably cute. Patrick is always a big hit everywhere we go!
