It's one of the most popular dog breeds in the world.
It's cute, wrinkly face is just asking to be kissed, and it's warm personality loves cuddles.
It isn't without health problems and controversy though.
It's the Pug! Let's learn more! 🧵
Pugs probably date back over 2,000 years to ancient China, where they were treasured by emperors and lived luxurious lives.
They were brought to Europe in the 16th century by Dutch traders, quickly becoming favorites among European royalty.
As Pugs spread across Europe, they were refined and standardized, leading to the distinctive breed we know today.
The breed's signature features include a short muzzle, curled tail, and expressive, large eyes, which contribute to their unique and endearing appearance.
Did you know that in 2017 physics attempted to prove that cats are beyond bendy.
A wild and weird test took place that concluded Cats are liquids.
Let's get into it!
In 2017, he published a study in the journal Rheology Bulletin, where he applied principles of fluid mechanics to cats.
The study humorously examined whether felines can indeed be classified as liquids based on their ability to conform to the shape of a container!
Liquids, according to physics, have no fixed shape and take the form of their container.
Fardin applied this definition to cats—because, as any cat owner knows, these pets love curling up in bowls, boxes, and any small space they can squeeze into.
