A Pug is a toy dog breed with a wrinkly face and medium-small body. The word "Pug" may have derived from the Latin Pugnus (fist); the Pug's face can look like a clenched fist. Or, in nod to the breed's sometimes mischievous nature, from the character "Puck" of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The breed is often summarized as multum in parvo ("much in little"), in reference to the Pug's great personality, despite its small size.
