The pug is the clown of the dog world and is described by the phrase “multum in parvo” (“a lot in a little”) — an apt description of this small but muscular breed. This pup has a royal Chinese lineage and has delighted owners for centuries with comic expressions.
Make sure to watch your pug’s weight — they really love to eat — and make sure to keep them in a temperature-controlled climate when weather extremes occur.
