Thanks for all the replies! Bandit has been a source of amusement since the day he walked thru the door. Today my daughter was singing the "munchkin" song (she has a very good munchkin voice ) from the Wizard of Oz and Bandit started howling along with her. Talk about hilarious. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Every time he would take a breath after a long howl he would snort. I am so glad to have him and for a companion dog I would recommend Pugs highly. Thanks again!
