Pug
Charming. mischievous. Yours.
There's a moment, usually around 2 AM, when a Pug will stare at you with those enormous, liquid-dark eyes, snoring while fully awake, and you'll wonder how something this small can take up an entire king-size bed and your whole heart simultaneously. Pugs are ancient royalty crammed into a compact, wheezing, endlessly charming package.
