From social media sensation Doug the Pug to all the little rascals at Pugfest, pugs are one of the most popular current breeds of dogs. I have always had a special place in my heart for pugs.

I have two large dogs of my own, but there's just something about that smooshy face and that curly tail that makes my heart happy. Here are just some of the reasons why I love the world's smooshiest faces.

1. The worlds cutest dog also starts out as the worlds cutest puppy.

2. They're more photogenic than a baby in a flower pot will ever be.

3. They cosplay better than you.

4. They pretty much put up with anything their owner has in mind, clearly.

5. Pugs can achieve patience level: 10000000

6. And patience level: 0

7. Watching their floppy face run to you is the meaning of life.

8. They rock this swimming gear better than Taylor Swift's pool swan.

9. Pugs can achieve lazy level: 100000

10. And lazy level: 0

11. They never grow up. It's like Peter Pan in real time.

12. Pro-tip: Pug snoring is the cutest sound you will ever hear.

13. No pug anywhere will let you ugly cry and binge eat three pints of ice cream alone.

14. Pugs are the best cuddlers.

15. Pugs live a judgement-free lifestyle. They're your safe haven.

16. They become more like kids and make it onto your Christmas card more often that yourself.

17. You can't just have one. It's physically impossible.

18. Once you get a pug you'll never be alone again.

19. They know how to party better than you.

20. They're down for any adventure-- with style.

21. They'll put up with you even in their old age.

22. They'll kill you with sass.

23. They'll Instagram better than you.

24. But most of all, pugs are just little affectionate, adventurous creatures bringing love to any home. Cheers!
