Have you ever heard of a resting “grumpy” face?

While you've probably heard of Internet sensation Grumpy Cat, there's a new grumpy pet in town — a puppy named Earl who might be grumpier, and cuter, than his fierce feline competition.

The five month old “puggle,” (a pug and beagle mix) has an underbite that gives him a grumpy appearance, according to Yahoo! U.K.

“The vet said he’s as healthy as any other puppy. He just looks grumpy because of his underbite, wrinkles and dark complexion,” the canine’s owner, Derek Bloomfield told Yahoo!.

The puppy’s face went viral after Bloomfield posted a picture of Earl on Reddit, which inspired Bloomfield to create a Facebook and Instagram page called “Earl the Grumpy Puppy,” which now has more than 18,000 followers.

Now that’s a woofin’ good time!
