Although visually pugs are somewhat reminiscent of English bulldogs, boxers, and now extinct Bullenbeisers from Germany, in fact, their roots should be found in the East.

The famous ancient Chinese philosopher and politician Confucius speaks of them as companions of the nobility traveling on chariots.
