 Captured pugfectly! December 13, 2002
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
What a wonderful, light-hearted and well-written book! We got this book from the breeder the day we brought our pug puppy home, and I read it from front to back in one night. You don't have to be a pug-lover to pick it up, but I guarantee you'll be one before you put it back down! Maggitti chronicles the highlights of life spent with pugs (and oh, there are so many!) with such vibrant humor and detail, you'd think he was talking about a three-year-old child instead of a dog! Definitely a must for any pug owner -- current or prospective.
A great little puggie-book! November 2, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a great little book about a great little dog-breed. It's simple yet sufficient and answers most of any pug-lovers questions. I also like the fact that it's written by a pug-lover and -owner because it adds another dimension to the book. The little real-life stories are amusing, and I dont't trust "common" dog-books that are just kinda re-written to tell a few facts about a certain breed.
I truly recomend it!
 Buy this before buying a pug June 27, 2002

Thinking of buying a pug? Better get this book first to help you decide. Everything you need to know about a pug is in this book. From grooming to sickness to training. Well... maybe not everything, it doesn't say that pugs have a certain smell even if you bathe them regularly :) It's still a complete guide for any pug owner or wanna be pug owner.

This book was fun. Not only did Maggitti use very adorable photos he had useful introductory info on pugs. His charming stories made me laugh and I feel more confident in my pug search now. The info was just introductory however, I would have liked to have more detailed research on choosing a pug, questions to ask breeders and vets. I bought it used and it was in mint condition. 4 stars
Great Introduction to the "fist". April 13, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The cover alone is the worth the price of this book-how could you resist a face like that??? The book also has great colour pictures between it's covers-all of them of cute little pugs :)I bought this book several years ago because I was interested in this little toy. Not only did this little breed play a part in Chinese royalty, it also plays a huge part in modern British royalty. It is well documented that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor had several pugs throughout thier life together. It is a basic introduction to the Pug. The only reason that I gave it four stars was because it was written by a pug fanacier. A person should really read a book (about any breed) that is written from an unbiased author.
