I got stuck dogsitting for someone while they're out of town over the weekend and so far this dumbass has: -ran into a wall for no obvious reason, TWICE -gotten scared of his own reflection in a mirror -gotten his head stuck in an empty take-out box -made at least three flying leaps only to miss or otherwise fail to make it to whatever he was trying to jump up onto -bit his own squeaky toy and scared himself when it squeaked Jesus gently caress it's only been like four hours. HOW DO YOU EVEN LIVE

A pack of pugs can take down a full grown moose. Do not underestimate.

Update: dogge calmed down some presently and continued doing retarded things at a lower frequency over the weekend. I asked the owner if it was going blind and she doesn't know, but will be taking the dog to the vet to find out!

Because they're genetic wastelands inbred for appearance without any care for their health. Pretty much like all dogs.

Pugs are an abomination that prove there is no God.

The 'ugly-cute' pugs that're famous should die out just to save them from their own misery. If an owner just HAS to have a pug, they need to look at retromops.

Pug-level inbreeding makes the heredity of European royal families look normal. On top of that, pugs look like somebody tried to bash their faces in with a plank and didn't have the decency to finish the job. For reference, this is what a pug looked like in the 18th century.

My favourite pug lived with a fraternity of which I was their resident advisor. It was fourteen, named Inky, completely blind, completely decrepit, and loved everyone. Inky would walk down a hallway by bumping into a wall, turning sixty degrees, and then walking into the other wall. It worked? Inky was almost always supervised and wheezed like an emphasyma patient. But somehow Inky could go all stealth mode and slip away when needed. Awesome dog.

I think the thing about all dogs and this has been true for all the dogs I've ever known is it any breed can be dumb as hell but there aren't very many breeds you can expect to be smart.

I had a border collie and he was really smart for a dog. The problem with this is that they're just smart enough to get themselves into BIG trouble. I always describe it as smart enough to open a childproof cap, but still dumb enough to drink the bleach. For example he knew how to get out of his harness by hooking the D-ring on the back to the wrought iron fence and backing out of it. He also knew that people drive cars and people give pets, so he would try to stop cars and go up to the drivers window to get a head scratch. Smart, yet definitely dumb. Still a Good Dog though, Brent. E: also since they are working dogs the breeders actually give a poo poo about health so they aren't inbred sacks of hereditary diseases. He lived to just shy of 17 and was chasing frisbees up until just a few months before he died. RIP Sherman, I miss ya buddy 😥

Dogs aren't dumb. Some dogs are easier to train than others, but in general dogs are pretty smart. My own dog surprises me all the time with just how intelligent he is - he picks up on what words mean without being taught, and when he gets a new toy, we assign it a name which he learns almost instantaneously, and can differentiate between it and his other toys. One of my childhood dogs was similarly clever. Dogs are capable of some pretty impressive things; for instance, a border collie named Chaser can identify something like 1,200 objects by name. Breeds that aren't as easy to train are often thought of as being dumb, but just because they aren't as interested in doing what we tell them to do doesn't make them stupid. Some dogs are smarter than others, this is true, but dogs in general aren't dumb. Hugh G.

Yeah it's just an analogy, dogs don't even have the thumbs required to open a cap like that. The idea is that some dogs are clever enough to get themselves into REAL trouble, as in more trouble than a dumber dog would be capable of. That's why I gave the example of Sherman stopping cars. He would purposefully put himself in harms way because he was "smart" enough to understand that people are in the cars, but not quite smart enough to understand that running in front of a moving vehicle is dangerous. He was quick as hell though, it only took one or two repetitions of a word before he figured out what it meant. He knew just about every synonym or metaphor for "walk" and "food" there was.

My dad used to spell walk and food and treat as a way of trying to get the dogs to stop freaking out when he mentioned them. Eventually they would start freaking out when he started spelling something. He thought it meant that they could spell those words. My dad is kind of dumb.

My buddy's old Springer Spaniel learned the word "banana," its spelling, its reverse spelling, and its pig latin version and would begin to drool uncontrollably. She hated bananas, so I have no idea what she associated the word with.
