A Pug Found a Sandwich on the Kitchen Floor and Settled In

AI imagepugstolen sandwichkitchen

A sandwich lies on the kitchen floor with several big bites missing, and Peanut the fawn Pug is stretched out beside it, looking off to the side. His black mask is wrinkled, his folded ears hang down and his paws rest near the crumbs and a leaf of lettuce. Behind him, an open kitchen shows a water bottle, a basket of oranges and a pair of sneakers on the floor. He has the air of a dog who found lunch lying around and is making sure nobody asks questions.

Pugs are charming, affectionate little dogs known for their wrinkled faces and loving personalities, and they are famous for their love of food. That love can make weight management a challenge, so measured meals and limited treats are important, and extra pounds can be hard on their breathing. Their short noses can make them sensitive to heat and exertion. Sandwich ingredients can be tricky for dogs: onions, garlic, certain sauces and some deli meats are high in salt or toxic, and bread is mostly empty calories. Keep food out of paw's reach and never leave plates at the edge of a table or counter. If your dog eats something harmful, call your vet for guidance. Puzzle feeders and a regular feeding schedule can help keep a Pug satisfied.

Peanut will have to settle for his own dinner tonight. He may still keep one eye on the next sandwich.
