They want the company of people, and if they can make you laugh, so much the better. These lovable little toy dogs are at their happiest, though, sitting in your lap receiving as much attention as you can possibly give them. This total care guide contains colourful sidebars, boxes, and photographs that illustrate key topics essential to Pug owners. An excellent source of accurate, in-depth information, The Pug will help you and your family raise a healthy and well-behaved canine companion.
