We adopted our first and only Frenchie Pug early this year and learned that dogs can indeed have an Indiana Jones complex. Kyra’s adoption came as a second chance at being pet parents; my husband and I dove headfirst into the opportunity. We soon realized that the frenzy of a French bulldog wrapped inside a pug-faced pup equals to the perfect home and office pet. If Kyra had a Linked In profile, this is what it would look like!
