I read such a sentence：
The days on which the slim boy’s cocker spaniel eyes shone brighter than ever, and his brown wavy hair seemed to have a movement of their own, they knew that he must have read a ghost tale and was hatching a plot to scare someone.
Isn't cocker spaniel a dog？When “cocker spaniel eyes” is used to refer to a person's eyes，what does that mean？
Answer
A cocker spaniel is a type of dog that has big round, 'soulful' eyes. This would be an example of a metaphor.
