Generally, dogs of all breeds lick to either taste you (like the salt on your skin) or show submission. If the amount of licking bothers you, there are many positive ways to address that issue. Remember not to yell at your dog for doing it as he/she is only trying to get close to you in some way.

Well, they are very social dogs, and love to be around people. Of course, it does really depend on the dog and the owner. My pug loves to lick your face, and she is very sweet towards people and other dogs! It might just be the kind of breed!

All dogs do it's because people touch stuff or get salty hands and they can smell it so they love to lick salty hands.

My pug growls a lot but seemingly playful is that just a characteristic of pugs?

It seems as if it is a characteristic of pugs. My dog is 3.5 years old and when he is playing with his toys or me, he growls seemingly playful. Also, he makes this sound as if he's going to bark, but never really barks. It's sort of like a "MMMMFFFFF" sound. I've heard a lot of pugs do the same.

What is the issue with pugs?

First of all, pugs are not for everyone. Pugs may be cute, but they need a lot of attention and help. You can't have a cat if you want a pug. If your cat is bugging your pug, your pug will continue to scratch it's eyes. And that can lead to serious problems. Pugs also only live to 11 years of age. Since pugs have a pushed in face, they have no cooling cavity. Pugs need to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. So if you don't have air conditioning, in the summer, your pug will have to spend a lot of time downstairs. And if you don't have a second floor, and you have air conditioning, then that can work too. And you also need to have heating in the winter. Pugs cannot spend a lot of time outside either. And here are three facts that will really annoy you. 1, Pugs shed eccesively, 2, Pugs have snot everywhere around their face, 3, if you want to sleep with your pug, their snoring will keep you awake. Pugs snore even during the day. I wanted a pug really bad. But not until i found out all of this bad information. I hope this is helpful to you. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't get a pug. Even if they have all of these problems, it isn't the pugs fault. You can still get a pug if you want to. Remember, pugs are really good dogs and they get along with a lot of dogs and people. They are even great with babies and toddlers. I'm only 10 years old. See Ya!
