So sure, Doug the Pug now has a degree just like a human. But does he also have crippling lifelong debt like a human? I doubt it. Pathetic.
Sometimes I feel like PR agencies just get bored and decide to make someone or something, completely banal, internationally sensational. This is how we end up with troglodytes like the Kardashians all over the media. Doug the Pug, despite being significantly more substantial than them, is another example.
Back in 2014, the famous pugs owner made the raspy little gremlin an Instagram account. Since then, it has become the most followed pet on social media. It’s won awards, such as Forbes’ most influential pet, and two People’s Choice awards for animal star. All those poor rescue dogs must feel rather underappreciated.
Doug the Pug has been so hyped that he’s even appeared on TV and in music videos. Katy Perry teamed up with Doug the Pug, having it appear in her Swish Swish music video. However, her talent was so outshone by the drooling mutt, and she swore never to work with it again.
The dog even voiced acted at one point.
Whoever has been running the PR campaign for Doug the Pug needs more recognition than they’re getting. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out the Tavistock Institute is behind it, running some kind of psy-op.
Doug the Pug Receives Honorary Degree
I mean, I already knew that most college degrees are worthless, besides the phenomenal private tradable debt they’re responsible for. But now, watching a malformed, wheezing, snot ball receive one, just really rubs it in.
Doug the Pug, on its thirteenth birthday, was given an honorary degree from the University of New Haven in Connecticut. “Doug was awarded an honorary degree in ‘Furensic Science‘ as a playful nod to one of the university’s most renowned programs, Forensic Science, which was founded by the legendary Dr. Henry C. Lee, who gave the commencement address,” the dog’s owner told People.
Doug the Pug had to dress up in the traditional gown and mortarboard to receive it’s degree. But, as far as social media influencers go, I guess the dog isn’t such a bad one. At least he’s not trying to push MLMs.
