In almost all places, it is required by law that you license your pug. However, the exact rules do vary based on where you live. For instance, many places not only require that you get your pug licensed every year, but they also require that you actually keep the license tag on your pug all the time.
The greyhound breed originally came from Egypt and was developed about 5,000 years ago. The greyhound breed was known before the ninth century in England, where it was bred by aristocrats to hunt small game.
Also, in some areas the licensing fee can vary based on a number of factors. In some areas, if the pug is permanently marked with a tattoo or a micro-chip, you can obtain a license that is valid for the pug's lifetime, rather than renewing yearly. Other things that can greatly affect the license cost include whether the pug is a service or guide DOG, whether the pug is spayed or neutered and whether the owner's income is below a certain amount. Also, some areas offer a multi-dog discount for owners that have several DOGS.

Obviously it is impossible for DOG licensing laws to be enforced on every single DOG and owner all the time. As a result, if you decide not to license your pug, it is possible that you may not get caught. However, if your pug is somehow detected by officials as unlicensed, you will be required to pay high fines.
Newfoundlands have webbed feet, just like ducks. They also have extremely water-proof fur. Those features, as well as their great strength, loyalty and willingness to learn, make newfies great candidates to work as water rescue dogs.
So, not only is it legally required for a pug to be licensed in most places, but it's in the owner's and the pugs best interest because it helps to protect the pug from getting permanently lost.
