    I hope you get your Pug!! and yes when your in school he/she will be fine as long as he has something to sleep in or toys and food and water he will be fine!

    As for facts

    Exercise: The pug is a great indoor dog, but don't be fooled -- they love to romp around outdoors. But a word of caution -- pugs cannot stand excessive heat.

    Dogs dissipate body heat through panting. But brachiocephalic (short-muzzled) dogs, because of their flat faces and smaller noses, cannot dissipate heat as effectively. Pugs therefore have a tendency to overheat and can become ill or even die from excessive heat exposure.

    I never take my pups to the park or even for a ride in the car on a hot day without a supply of cool water to refresh them. I always leave a fan blowing on their favorite daytime napping spot and leaving the A/C on for them on excessively hot days is a must.

    ------------------------------------------

    Temperament: Pugs are friendly, playful dogs with wonderful temperaments. They are natural clowns and will keep you entertained.

    They are wonderful with children and older people too. I have never seen a pug act out aggressively towards any person. I have two unneutered male pugs who get into occasional scrapes with each other, but only very rarely with other dogs and only then with other unneutered males. They get along well with other dogs, even much larger dogs. I have never known pugs to be intimidated by any other breeds and are good playmates at the park. Pugs are very loving and will follow their owner wherever they go.

    -------------------------------------------

    Size: One of the great things about pugs is their size. Pugs are small dogs, but their small size is deceptive, they pack a punch! Adult pugs vary in weight from approximately 17 to 24 lbs -- the females on the lower end of the scale. An adult pug is only about the size of a big cat.

    They say that pugs are a big dog in a little package and it's true. They are not fru-fru dogs that are delicate or require a lot of primping and preening. My two pugs love to wrestle and chase balls through the house and yard.

    Good luck!! :)

    Hey!

    Yes, he'll be fine! Get him a cage,and make it all nice and cozy so he can sleep in it! (A cage is only for if the dog constantly keeps chewing on things and messing up the house!!) I'm 13, and my schooling hours are from 7:20 to 2:32! I have a 4 month old puppy, and he sleeps just fine in his cage! Make sure you add a bowl of food and a bowl of water, in case he gets thirsty or hungry! Trust me, you're pug will be fine!

    All the best!! Hope I Helped! I Hope You Get The Dog Of Your Dreams!

    -XOXO,

    ~Ariana
