I would love to get a pug. A puppy, a baby pug - I just want one so bad.

Darci Lynne Farmer

I always wanted a pug. After seeing 'Men in Black,' the little pug in that, I had to get one.

Hopsin

So Jemma and I have always loved dogs and a few years ago we took the plunge and decided to finally own our very own pug, Ellie! From there, we fell in love with the breed and are pug mad!

Irony is to the high-bred what billingsgate is to the vulgar; and when one gentleman thinks another gentleman an ass, he does not say it point-blank, he implies it in the politest terms he can invent.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

If the aristocrat is only valid in fashionable circles, and not with truckmen, he will never be a leader in fashion; and if the man of the people cannot speak on equal terms with the gentleman, so that the gentleman shall perceive that he is already really of his own order, he is not to be feared.
