It\'s a dog, which is a pet. The "value" they bring to people varies on what the owners want. Like dogs that are funny and attracts women? Get a pug. Got small dick syndrome? Buy something that will bite your face off.
your argument in the case for pugs is somewhat hypocritical when saying those that buy certain breeds do so to compensate for failings elsewhere.
if you have personality and/or looks, you don\'t need a dog to attract women. by your reckoning, those that buy pugs are effectively saying "hey look, I\'m devoid of looks or substance, but I have a pug!! women please come and talk to me".
working dogs are useful, and are not just for treating small dick syndrome. most people that get dogs of this nature are not doing it because they feel inferior, they do it for practical purposes
want to have a dog that shows loyalty and can be trained to perform useful tasks? get a border collie or a german shepherd.
want a dog that does nothing but sits in the corner, wheezing, twitching, snorting and slobbering all the time? get a pug.
