The Pug is living proof that a dog can be both regal and ridiculous at the same time. With their squishy face, curled tail, and snort-powered breathing system, they manage to rule their household from a throne made entirely of couch cushions and discarded slippers.

Affectionate to a fault, this little shadow follows you from room to room like a concerned marshmallow. Their idea of cardio is a dramatic zoomie followed by a three-hour nap on your lap. They may try to act fierce when the doorbell rings, but they’re more likely to welcome strangers with a sneeze and a tail wag than anything resembling actual protection.

Training a Pug is a dance between patience and bribery—emphasis on the treats. Though not known for complex jobs, they excel at the most important task of all: providing non-stop comic relief. Bonus feature: their snoring could power a white noise machine.
