A Serious Black Pug Gave a Whole Litter of Kittens a Ride Across the Yard

AI imagepugkittensbackyard

A black Pug walks across a sunlit lawn with his big dark eyes fixed ahead and his wrinkled face serious, while a pile of tiny kittens rides on his back. There are calico, black-and-white, gray and ginger kittens clinging to him, one sleepy ginger one resting its chin right behind his ear. A wooden fence and a few flower pots are lined up behind. The grass is trampled from many such outings, and the mood is parade-like.

We might call the Pug Gus. He walks with great care and a look of total focus, as if he knows his passengers are important. The kittens, for their part, seem very pleased with the ride. The grass under his paws barely bends.

Pugs are charming, easygoing dogs that love company, and they do not need very long walks. Their short noses make them sensitive to heat, so avoid exercise on hot days and keep them in shade. Kittens that climb on a dog's back could fall, so in real life it is best to keep them on the ground or in a safe carrier, and to supervise every moment. Dogs and cats can be good friends when they are raised together, and a calm, patient dog like a Pug is a good candidate. Ask your vet about introductions and parasite prevention.

Gus looks proud to be the kittens' ride, and the kittens look happy with the view.
