Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It looks like Miles's third eyelid is slightly elevated on that side. Either that, or he has what is called lateral strabismus. This can occur in puppies but should resolve as he gets older. If his eye ever becomes more deviated to the left, or if the other eye starts deviating out, he should be seen by your veterinarian. Otherwise, I would give him a few weeks to see an improvement. I hope this is helpful!
