Build a double fence around the garden and put that pug in the 
run...make him earn his keep. :)
I understand your frustration, though.  Windstorms keep blowing my corn 
over.  Yesterday a good storm almost took out my new kiwi vine when a 30 
ft long, human torso sized sweetgum limb blew over and landed on my 
trellising wire for the kiwi.  We just got the wire up last weekend.  
The limb missed the kiwi plant by about 6 inches.  We were able to 
re-right most of our pole bean trellises(bamboo twisted and canked, but 
did not break!), but all the corn is a loss, I think.  Another limb 
landed on the phone line to the house and not only brought down the 
line, but also ripped a posterboard sized chunk of siding right off the 
chimney(that's where the line attaches).  Summer thunderstorm....
