Pugs have a wonderful sense of humor to go along with their comical appearance. They are show-offs and will do just about anything for attention. They will readily accept strangers and do not make good watch or guard dogs. They will play with children and other animals but should not be subjected to heavy exercise. They are very sensitive to heat and should never be left outdoors in warm weather. They shed quite a bit even though their coats are short. The folds of skin in their face should be cleaned regularly to avoid infection.
