Animal lovers' hearts have broken for a dog who wasn't afraid to show his big feelings about missing out on a treat.
Gakri is a goldendoodle, a mix between a golden retriever and poodle, and is totally adored by his owner, who runs TikTok page @gakriventures dedicated to his antics.
Now Gakri has gone viral as he showed his disappointment when his owner went to Starbucks and returned without getting him a pup cup.

Pup cups, also known as puppuccinos, are small containers of whipped cream that some cafés offer to dogs when their owner is getting a coffee.
And it is clear Gakri had come to expect it when his owner got a coffee of her own—but, this time, he was left empty-pawed, and wasn't afraid to show his owner how he felt.
In the clip, viewed more than 601,000 times, Gakri sits in the back seat of the car with his back to his owner and his head down, looking into the corner of the car and deliberately not making any eye contact.
His owner shared a viral TikTok sound over the clip, from when another owner went through the very same thing with her own sulking dog.
The sound pleaded: "Baby, they were too busy for a pup cup! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, they were too busy!"
Gakri's owner wrote in the caption: "Sorry but no pup cup today!"
TikTok users were, naturally, outraged on Gakri's behalf, awarding the video more than 57,000 likes, as one posted: "Nobody is too busy to give that precious baby a pup cup."
"That face, mom needs to make one for you," another agreed, as a third commented in all-caps: "FIND THAT DOG A PUP CUP RIGHT NOW!"
One viewer laughed at Gakri's "attitude," while another asked: "Where is Paw Patrol when you need them?"
"Not an acceptable excuse," a third commenter agreed. "Get that baby their pup cup."
...
But, in good news for Gakri's legions of supporters, his owner later shared a video revealing they got Gakri "a better option" after the pup cup fiasco: a peanut butter and pumpkin frozen dog treat, which he lapped up happily.
Newsweek has contacted @gakriventures via TikTok for comment on this story.
