While they may look sad, they’ve certainly found their place in our homes and our hearts. Now the adorable creatures have a new home, sitting on rugs in 43 amusing photographs! What could be cuter? Pugs on Rugs celebrates different pugs on different rugs. The dog might be walking, sitting, or sleeping and the rug could be Persian, Aztec, or oriental, but the image is guaranteed to be cute and funny!

Have you heard about the eighteenth-century German secret society dedicated to the pug in which new members initiated themselves by wearing a collar, scratching at the door, and kissing the rear end of a giant porcelain pug? Yes indeed, pug lovers are an interesting breed and this volume is sure to get them laughing with delight. From bullish to pitiful, Pugs on Rugs is a fantastically fun book featuring some of the snuggliest pugs you’ve ever seen.
