Pug Shots

Pug Shots

by JimDratfield (Author)

Synopsis

Pugs have a cult following. Their wrinkly faces, protruding eyes and corkscrew tails make them one of the most oddly appealing breeds of dog. Perenially popular with royalty and the aristocracy (they were the mascot of the royal patriots in the Netherlands in the sixteenth century) they are now one of our best loved breeds. Jim Dratfield pays affectionate tribute, in words and pictures, to the charming canine with the Charlie Chaplinesque dignity. He doesn't shy clear of a pun either: among other adorable pugs we meet pug in a bug, litter pugs, hush pugs and pugs bunny. We even meet one particularly memorable character who is downright pugnacious. Lavishly illustrated with over 60 original full colour and sepia photographs, this is the ultimate present for pug and dog owners.
