Maybe you know them from the lovable character Frank in Men in Black or the episode of friends where Phoebe practices being a mom with an adorable puppy. Regardless, pugs are arguably the cutest little button-nosed creatures that we have the pleasure of existing at the same time as. Maybe I am a little biased seeing that I own one, but you have to admit, they do have some undeniable charm.

There are so irrefutable advantages of owning a pug, and whether you already have one or you are looking to complete your life by adopting one of these curly-tailed-snuggle monsters, you will find yourself doing at least one of the following things.

1. When you see a pug anywhere you automatically squeal

Whether you are walking down the street or watching TV you always can spot a pug from a mile away. You have a special sixth sense about it, and you make sure that everyone knows it. I've been victim to grabbing friends' arms as we are walking to direct their attention to the incoming pug. I can't help myself; with great power comes great responsibility to let everyone know when their is a pug in their immediate presence. Especially when you are watching TV and you see a pug when you are sitting with your own...

...and quickly direct your own pug to their "friend" on TV. Then you look deeply into your own pug's bulgy eyes and wonder why yours isn't already famous. I mean, c'mon, look at her? How can she not be in every commercial ever. I would buy anything if they endorsed it with a pug.

2. You find the cuteness in literally anything they do

Whether it be sleeping, hiding in the shade from the sun, or trying really hard to beg for food from you, pugs naturally always look adorable. My pug, Lucy, will always sit underneath my younger sister when she eats because she knows that she will slip her something. (You're not as sly as you think Isabella.) Lucy will sit there, all proper, looking up with her big eyes just waiting for something to fall. Or when they sleep with all their feet tucked tightly underneath themselves to create the iconic "puggerpillar" appearance. (You have to understand that I couldn't pick just one picture.)

3. You will defend them until the end

"Oh, you think pugs are ugly? You think their snoring is annoying? You think their entirely adorable smooshed up face is completely disgusting?"

Well, EXCUSE ME, but you don't understand the distinct pleasure I have of owning a pug. Like how she wiggles with excitement whenever I come home during my breaks from school, or how goofy she looks when she sleeps with just the tip of her tongue out, but most importantly how she is a perfect lap dog.

Sure not everyone can appreciate the special cuteness that comes with owning a pug, but you really cannot deny how precious these fuzzy-spring-tailed-goobers are.
