We know that we, as humanity, are to blame for the existence of Pugs. But honestly, can we blame ourselves?

Human engineering of dog breeds isn't new. Some of the results came from real necessities, mostly of human needs of specific doggo traits to help with various life skills we lack - like herding sheep in full zoomies speed, tracking prey with superior scent, or helping to guard the house from potential intruders. All of these work hand in paw with our needs as humans, and with the specific features of our beloved doggo BFFs.

Then… there are dogs like Pugs. Were they needed to run as fast as a Border Collie to bring all the sheep back to the barn? Not so much. Were they needed for their sense of smell, tracking missing people in the mountains like a Saint Bernard? Not really, we've already got that covered. So, were they needed to guard the homestead and drive away burglars and thieves? Umm… you only need to have half a look at a Pug to understand that this is not the answer.

We don't have a definitive answer, but we do know that a yapping potato isn't a skill humanity needed. So it really is entirely our fault that Pugs exist. But since these delightful doggos are already here, it means they deserve just as much love as any other, more "useful" dog out there. Besides, have you seen how cute Pugs are? Seriously, no wonder some people in the past thought a potato-shaped dog was a good idea. The evidence is right here.

    So I sold my daughter's slide yesterday on Facebook Marketplace. I asked the buyer, "How old are you kids?" She giggled and said, "No, it's for my pugs. They love to go up and down a slide." We are all mothers in our own way. Made my day!

    "Dreams have meaning" My dreams:
    via @doggomem

  • We wonder what it means when you dream about Pugs.

    For example, dreaming of snakes typically symbolizes hidden fears, anxiety, transformation, or a toxic person in your life. Dreaming of being pregnant often symbolizes personal growth, new beginnings, or the development of a new creative project, idea, or life phase rather than actual pregnancy. Dreaming of fire generally symbolizes intense emotions, transformation, or destruction, often reflecting passion, rage, or a need for change in your life.

    With this logic, what do Pugs in a person's dream symbolize?

    Pugs aren’t threatening, mysterious, or transformative, but they’re endearingly ridiculous, deeply social, a little needy, and impossible to ignore. A pug in a dream might symbolize: Unfiltered affection, embracing imperfection, playful escapism, clinginess or emotional dependency, or comfort and routine.

    Yeah, that sounds about right.
