He is always looking to Walt for some sort of appreciation like a really creepy puppy dog. To be honest, I did not really get what the author wanted to say with this sentence. Can someone explain it in easier words, especially the meaning of "creepy puppy dog"?

A puppy dog is always seeking its master's attention and favor. There is not enough information in this quote to suggest why his behavior is creepy.

He also sets his obsessive mind on Walter and seems to look up to the man greatly and frequently does everything he can to get Walt's attention Commented Jan 22, 2021 at 12:50

Oxford Dictionaries gives one definition of the noun creep as a person who behaves obsequiously. I suspect creepy is used in this sense rather than the more usual causing fear and unease. Commented Jan 22, 2021 at 14:09

I'm trying to find a reference to creepy being used to mean creep-ish. Could you link for me? I think those are totally different words.– ValkorCommented Jan 22, 2021 at 14:16

I didn't find one, but a puppy is much more likely to be obsequious than spooky! Commented Jan 22, 2021 at 16:40
