pug dog
Snub-nosed lap companion
A pug dog is a small breed with a wrinkled face, short muzzle, and curled tail.
The phrase is redundant—pug alone names the breed—but appears when speakers want to be explicit or emphatic: She adopted a pug dog from the shelter.
Pugs are known for their compact, muscular build and affectionate temperament.
