Dogs have it good these days. Like, really good. They're gaining all sorts of attention just for being fashionable or looking like a human. How do they do it? We haven't the slightest clue.

After watching this video, it’s safe to say we will be genuinely interested in what Disney does with the next installment of ‘Star Wars’ *if* all the creatures are pugs in costumes.
