    Earl The Grumpy Puppy Is The Newest Cranky Internet Meme

    Grumpy Cat who?

    Grumpy Cat has been the grumpy animal we've known and loved since 2012. She's dominated the grumpy market. Until now.

    Now, we have Earl the Grumpy Puppy. He's got the scowl of an ornery old man in the tiny body of a 5-month-old puppy.

    Earl is a puggle who lives in Iowa with his owner, 25-year-old Derek Bloomfield, and Derek's girlfriend, Christie.

    Now, Earl's starting to become a meme on Reddit.

    "If any of your balls or frisbees go on his property he doesn't give them back," one commenter wrote.

    "This dog looks like he pays taxes," another added.

    There's also been quite a lot of comparisons to Samuel L. Jackson.

    "He's tired of these motherfuckin squirrels in this motherfuckin yard," one Redditor said.

    SAY RUFF AGAIN.

    You better not sleep tonight, Grumpy Cat.

    BuzzFeed has reached out to Earl's owners for comment.
