Puppy Type
An animal face type with a gentle and friendly impression
What is the Puppy Type?
"Puppy type" refers to people who fall under the "gentle and cute impression" category when facial impressions are divided into "gentle and cute" and "chic and refined." They give a soft, mild impression similar to a puppy, and their visual traits match the "cute and kind" feeling associated with a puppy’s face, forming the concept of the Puppy Type.
Reading your Puppy Type result more closely
Identifying cues
- Rounded facial lines and soft volume make the overall impression easy to be around.
- Slightly downturned outer eye corners, or round eyes, strengthen the gentle mood.
- In broad-smile photos the friendliness and bright energy stand out more.
How it differs from similar types
The Rabbit Type centres on smaller, daintier features, and the Bear Type on a heavier, more comforting face shape. The Puppy Type sits between them, showing up clearly when a bright smile and relaxed eyes appear together.
Reading results by photo condition
- In a bright, front-facing photo the eyes and cheek lines read steadily, which makes the result more reliable.
- An open-mouthed laughing photo can push the Puppy Type score up, so compare it with a neutral-expression photo.
- Shooting from above can over-emphasise the roundness of the face.
Using the result, and what to keep in mind
- Works well as a description of a warm, approachable first impression for profile or introduction photos.
- The result is a piece of fun based on visual cues, not a verdict on anyone's personality.
- Viewing it alongside the Rabbit and Bear Types makes the difference between cuteness and comfort easier to see.
What separates it from similar types
| Compared with | What is alike | What sets them apart |
|---|---|---|
| Rabbit Type | Round face shape and large eyes | The Rabbit Type has a smaller nose and mouth set close together. The Puppy Type has a fuller mouth and cheek line. |
| Bear Type | A comfortable, reassuring impression | The Bear Type covers more facial area and reads heavier. The Puppy Type, though also round, feels lighter and brighter. |
| Cat Type | Almost the opposite axis | The Cat Type has upturned eye corners and a slimmer outline. If both score highly, suspect the photo conditions. |
Puppy Type frequently asked questions
How do I tell the Puppy Type from the Rabbit Type?
Look at the size of the nose and mouth first. Both types share large, round eyes, but the Rabbit Type has a small nose and mouth, so the centre of the face gathers closely. The Puppy Type has a fuller mouth, and the cheek line lifts along with a smile.
I only get the Puppy Type in smiling photos.
A broad smile lifts the cheeks and folds the eyes into a rounder shape, which strengthens Puppy Type cues. Try a neutral-expression photo as well. If the type ranks highly in both, that is the more stable result.
Does being a Puppy Type mean I have a friendly personality?
No. Animal face types are classified from shape patterns extracted from a photo and have nothing to do with personality. The personality notes on this page describe how such an impression tends to be read, not what a person is actually like.
