Move over, Grumpy Cat, there's a new pouty animal ready for Internet stardom.

Earl, a second-generation Puggle (that's a pug-beagle mix) has won the hearts of thousands after its photo hit the front page of Reddit last month. Since then, the 5-month-old pup has become a meme and gained a following on Instagram and Facebook.

Earl's owner, Derek Bloomfield, told ABC that despite his dog's grumpy mug, he is "super friendly" to people and other dogs.
