The pug is a breed of dog with physically distinctive features of a wrinkly, short-muzzled face, and curled tail. Since pugs lack longer snouts and prominent skeletal brow ridges, they are susceptible to eye injuries such as proptosis, scratched corneas, and painful entropion. They also have compact breathing passageways, leaving many prone to breathing difficulties or unable to efficiently regulate their temperature through evaporation from the tongue by panting. A Pug's normal body temperature is between 101 °F (38 °C) and 102 °F (39 °C). Their breathing problems can be worsened by the stresses of travelling in air cargo, which may involve high temperatures.
