As his owner grew old, play time became lesser and lesser, yet, he still believes that Andy still cares about his toys. As devoted as he is, Poogy strives to be as cute as possible, showing of his plump and adorable physique. Poogy is a smart, determined and passionate pug, and would do anything for his dearest friends. Being the most dependable and tactical one amongst them all, he became the most charming leader in ‘The Pugverse’. Altogether, they venture to an unknown future while ensuring that no toy gets left behind.
