Pug is a scrapy little dog.

I originally wanted to call him "Pip," because one of my favorite books 
as a kid was Dicken's _Great Expectations_. However, while I was working 
on Magician, Alan Dean Foster came out with his "Flinx and Pip" series 
of books, so I looked around for a name that would work with a scrappy 
little kid. Hence, Pug.
