Pug

A small dog that is tough enough to take a cat as a playmate, and sociable enough to treat one as company. For households where everyone is out during the day, a cat and a Pug can keep each other from being alone. Pugs are clowns rather than chasers, so the usual risk is pestering, not hunting. The flat face matters more: like other flat-faced breeds, they overheat easily and struggle with hard exercise, so they suit a relaxed home better than an active one.
