There is a risk of choking if you try and eat the harder parts.

However, cartilage and softer ends of chicken bones themselves are chewable/edible. I liked to eat them since I was a kid. It would be interesting if someone knows their digestibility or nutritional value and if they are a source of calcium and other nutrients.

If this sounds strange to you, consider that traditional cultures consume much more of the animal carcass (especially organ meats) than the typical modern diet, resulting in a higher intake of important fat soluble vitamins - which in turn promote absorption of essential minerals like calcium. This is one of the factors implicated in the excellent dental health in many traditional cultures. For example, early observers noted that dental cavities were very rare in Australian Aboriginal children living on traditional diets, and compaction almost unknown. But the dietary components mentioned were kidney fat from possums, and moth abdomens. It probably wasn't documented whether they ate the cartilage/bone-ends of bird species in their diets!!

If your dog eats a chicken bone and swallows it as quick as you can take the dog to the vet because the chicken bone will slice the dogs stomach and the dog could die.

Can pugs eat chicken bones?

Cooked chicken bones become brittle and should not be fed to dogs or cats. Chances are nothing will happen but the cooked bones can splinter and get caught in the pets throat or digestive tract. Cats and dogs like your Pug do fine eating raw birds as the bones are not as sharp and do not splinter. Keep in mind that feline and canine diet in the wild is often avian/rodent heavy.
