A Pug Pup Crash Course
The Pug pup is the ideal companion dog, always loyal and happy to be with humans and ready for a cuddle. This is the perfect dog for someone who doesn’t have a lot of space as the Pug is not an overly active dog and is ideally suited to the indoor life. Pugs don’t mind being left alone and will happily nap away the time you are at work or school or amuse themselves.
