Interesting, interesting. I never knew the term "狗眼". I am assuming it is like comparing the face of a dog that looks disgusted with the face of someone looking down on someone?

@Monokuma A dog's eyes are at a lower level compared to a human's. Everything it sees is from a low level (從低處看), including looking at humans.  However, the term 低看 happens to mean look down upon.  Thus 狗眼看人低 (dogs look people from a low level) is interpreted as 'look down upon people with dog's eyes (Ignorant view point) ' instead of looking up at people -- It is a word play

举个例子/For example：
Everything you say or do is viewed as ignorant（天真） or immature by that person; kind of like they see you with a bias and with a superiority complex.

又举个例子/Example 2:
The reason they see you are ignorant is because *they are* ignorant and not understanding of others, as shown through analyzing their actions.
