Chancho el pug (Pig the Pug)

Pig's mischievous and cheeky antics are so memorable—I'm curious whether the character was based on a real dog or just pure imagination.

Some of Pig's antics are quite over-the-top and cheeky—do others think it pushes the boundaries of typical kids' humor or is that part of the fun?

Pig's misadventures are hilarious, but I wonder if the stories also aim to subtly teach children about obedience or consequences.
