This poor baseball pug got scared half to death by the Philly Phanatic’s gross tongue

I’ll never forgive the Philly Phanatic for betraying this innocent pug’s trust.

Here’s the thing with pugs: They can’t help being pug-like. While other dogs get the benefit of having extending snouts to do their smelling, the valiant pug needs to get its muzzle all up in a sniff target to have any chance of sniffdom. The Phanatic knew this, so when there was some schnoz-on-schnoz action the mascot protruded its phallic hell tongue directly into the poor pug’s face.

The pug didn’t sign up for this harassment. It just wanted to see a baseball game and perhaps sniff a giant green weirdo. This was simply uncalled for.
