Pug

Pugs are dramatic little tyrants who wheeze through life like they’re perpetually offended by the concept of oxygen. They’ll collapse on your lap, snore louder than you do, and somehow convince you this is a privilege while their bulging eyes follow your every move in case you’re leaving without them. If you own a pug, you’ve accepted that wrinkles need cleaning, their curled tail isn’t actually a design flaw, and a dog this compact shouldn’t be this difficult to live with.
