For many pug owners, there is nothing quite so frightening as to discover that your pug has somehow gotten out of the yard and may be wandering around the neighborhood. Thoughts of accidents cause many pet owners to cringe, and they set out immediately to find their missing pooch. Hours may go by as streets and neighborhoods are searched, and depending on how long you believe your pug has been out of your yard, you have a couple of options. One is to continue looking for your animal yourself. Another option is to call local veterinarian's offices, as many people who find a pug wandering around will take it to their nearest vet's office.
The Broholmer is a breed that is recognized only in Denmark. It was thought extinct in the 1960's but, in December of 1974, a purebred Broholmer popped up in Finland. This dog was a male, and the owners hoped to find a female for him to mate with, but it never happened. While still recognized as a breed, an example has yet to appear again.
You may save yourself some anguish however, if you first contact your local DOG pound or humane society. If your pug is licensed, they will be able to locate you according to the identification number imprinted in the DOG tag. If you have etched the pug's name as well as a phone number or address on the tag, you'll most probably have even better luck.

Call the local DOG pound and notify them that your pet is missing. Identify your pug and try to give them an approximate time as to when your pug went missing. Ask if they have received any new pugs within the time frame you know your pug to have gotten away, and prepare to visit them if necessary. Try not to be alarmed, but do realize that DOG pounds can only keep stray pugs for a limited amount of time. If no one claims them, usually within 72 hours to a week, they will put the pugs up for adoption.

When you find your pug, or if a pound notifies you that they have your pug, be prepared to pay a small fee for any food or medical attention provided to your pug while in the care of the pound or humane society. Taking steps to ensure the safety of your pet by having your pug properly licensed will help to alleviate a lot of stress in the event the pug gets out of the yard, and for a few extra dollars, that kind of peace of mind is hard to come by.
The basenji, an African wolf dog, is the only breed of dog that cannot bark. Instead of barking, it makes an odd yodel-like noise. Due to this fact, the basenji is also sometimes known as an African barkless dog.
