Best Answer

pugs were bred by the Chinese to catch escaped prisoners. They are small, but are extremly strong for their size. their jaws lock so that you would have to pry it apart with a stick to release whatever was in there
Pugs are in the toy group meaning that they aren't meant for anything except that they are lap dogs and because their so cute!
