We’ve seen the dramatic chipmunk, the dramatic lemur, and countless other theatrical critters. But here’s one set to blow all the others away. Meet the dramatic pug.

This adorable pup has perfect timing, and just the right amount of eye-popping to pack a powerful dramatic punch.

Forget about simply becoming the next viral internet sensation. I’m imagining much bigger things for this irresistible dog. Such a dramatic head turn makes him a shoe-in for a role in Bold & The Beautiful, or Days of Our Lives perhaps?

Whatever the case, I expect to see plenty more of this precocious pooch!
