Today is World Book Day, so it seemed like a great opportunity to share some pug themed books. Pugs make great characters because they have so much…character. See, it says it right there!
This list consists of novels and stories, so we didn’t include the amazing picture & photo books that are also available. Hopefully we can post those in the future! Maybe you can put a few of these on your summer reading list?
Have a great pug book you want to share? Feel free to leave it in the comments.
Clara: The Story of the Pug Who Ruled my Life
Once a pug owner, always a pug owner–or so thought Margo Kaufman, having shared her home with the lovable snub-faced imps since her college days. But it was not until the 1992 arrival of Clara–petite, imperious, whip-smart, and seductive–that Margo found what it meant to be a pug parent: that a pug could rule her life, and perhaps the world as well.
Pug Hill
For Holly Golightly, there was always Tiffany’s. For me, there’s always Pug Hill. For as long as I’ve lived in New York, whenever I’ve just wanted to think, or relax, or be happy, or even sad, my destination of choice has been, without fail, Pug Hill.
Pug Actually
A Dog’s Purpose meets The Happy Ever After Playlist in this charming, pitch-perfect take on relationships as seen through the eyes of a wise pug named Doug, who is determined to play cupid to fix his owner’s love life with his own four paws.
Pugs In A Blanket
When Sam comes home one day to find two mystery pugs left on her porch, she’s sure it’s destiny. She’s always wanted a dog of her own, even though her parents say that their catering business keeps the family too busy for a pet — let alone two! But Sam has to take in the sweet, abandoned pups . . . at least until their real owners turn up.
Pugs and Prejudice
This book has everything you adored about Jane Austen’s classic novel – the wit, the warmth, the love story – with everything the original lacked – namely, a colourful cast of adorable pugs dressed head to paw in Georgian clothing.
Battle Pug
Join the last Kinmundian and his faithful steed, THE BATTLEPUG, as the travel the seeking revenge against every giant ridiculous animal they can find.
Danielle and I started planning. First I was going to come out to be there for the birth of Alexis’ pups, but she ended up giving birth earlier than expected, and we both missed the birth!
We pretty much drove all day, stopped for the evening to take care of the dogs and have dinner, wine, then sleep! It was a 4 day trip. The first night we stayed at a friend’s in Nebraska, the rest of the nights we spent in RV parks. Since Dani did all the driving (did you see the size of that THING??), I did all the cooking. I was also on poop/pee patrol throughout the journey.
Phoebe was picked up on day 3 of our trip. She fit right in! She was happy to be playing with the pups! This little lady had had 4 homes and was only 7 months old. To know she would be getting an amazing FOREVER home now was just icing on this already very big cake!
Adoption day was one of those days that just fills up your entire heart. Seeing all the people come to get their new babies, watch them meet them for the first time, and see them fall in love is just an amazing experience. It was decided that Stevie, the baby that had the medical issues, would not go to her east coast forever home, but would instead stay with Dani to ensure she got the medical care and attention she needs to continue to recover from her issues. I can’t say I was at all upset to get to spend more time with her, she is ridiculously cute and a super smart and sassy girl – just how I like them!
