Where's the signature explanation, Pug?

I can only offer slightly more context than the meme itself!

Stalin was found a day after his stroke (as he was notoriously irritable about being disturbed when in private) on the floor of his room; still alive but only semi-conscious, he was found in a puddle of his own piss. He was then moved to a bed and given medical attention - he clung to life for a few more days and then died.

That'll do, Pug, that'll do.

I'm sure I'm asking you to repeat yourself but are you the human savior of the pugs or are you a pug yourself who is saving humanity?

The esoteric mysteries of the Pug, son of Dog, are hidden to all but those that open their third eye, hidden under their forehead wrinkles 🙏

Once you are enlightened, you too will be saved by Dog's mercy 🙏

You gotta watch The Death of Stalin if you haven’t. It’s a black comedy and that screenshot is from it.
