CLOSING STATEMENT
Pug lovers designs were inspired by the fact that pug lovers and pug parents allowed me to use the object of their affections as my mascot. And, my research tells me that pugs are happy, affectionate, and playful. So, let’s use this loveable animal nature to create a better path to Lifting with laughter and love to communicate and encourage gambling responsibility.
