Where does “pug” come from?

I need to work with the chain provided, but I notice there's a significant problem: the chain given is for "puck," not "pug," yet the headword specified is "pug (English)." Additionally, the chain contains anomalies: - It lists "Proto-Indo-European bʰuǵ-" three times at the end - The progression seems to trace "puck" (a hockey disk/mischievous creature), not "pug" (a dog breed) - No meaning is supplied for the reconstructed roots Could you clarify: Should I write the etymology for **pug** or **puck**? If it's pug, I'll need the correct etymological chain, as the current chain appears to be for a different word.
