Can Pugs be kept outdoors?

Being very social animals, Pugs need to be in a reassuring environment such as INSIDE a loving home. Besides, they cannot tolerate high heat and humidity for a long time. Ordinarily, dogs cool off by panting and their long tongues and noses give them more cooling area. However, being a brachycephalic breed, Pugs have virtually no cooling area for their heads, so they have a very strong tendency to over heat and they can die in less than 30 minutes outdoors in high heat and/or humidity.
