From Sara, Atlanta
We have had our pug for almost a year. We just adore him. He is a natural clown, he eats like a pig and will keep you laughing nonstop. He is very loving (loves to cuddle), loyal (protective) and likes lots of attention (wants to play all the time). However pugs shed like crazy. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. They are a great pet for kids.
