With their squished-up faces, solidly built bodies, bug-eyes, and curlicue tails, pugs are one of the most oddly endearing of all canine breeds. What other breed can look so philosophical, dignified, puzzled, content, or just plain cool with only a slight change of expression? The pugs in Pug Shots look right at home whether getting married on the spur of the moment in a Las Vegas chapel, studying the fine architecture in a Gothic cathedral, or trying out a new toupee.

The pugs in Pug Shots look right at home whether getting married on the spur of the moment in a Las Vegas chapel, studying the fine architecture in a Gothic cathedral, or trying out a new toupee.
Photographer Jim Dratfield has captured pugs in all of their moods in sepia-toned and full-color photographs, along with a fitting, pun-filled caption for each. You'll meet a pot-bellied pug, litter pugs, a horse and puggy, and pugz 'n the hood. Dratfield is the creative director of Petography, Inc., a fine-art photographic pet portrait studio, and is obviously adept at capturing the personalities of animals on camera, as well as using props and settings to bring out their personas.
If you've never been introduced to the all-pug band The Puggles, a dune puggy, or Three Pugs in a Fountain, Pug Shots will acquaint you with these strangely likeable little creatures. All dog lovers, especially pug fans, should enjoy this energetic, creative photo collection. --Kris Law
Book Description
The perfect--and wonderfully quirky-- gift for a pug owner or fan, this is an adorably amusing photographic tribute to the new "IT dog" and classic favorite!
From Winston Churchill to American humorist Margo Kaufman, who quipped "the pug is living proof that God has a sense of humor," these little dogs with squashed faces, protruding eyes, bulging bellies, and corkscrew tails have always had a devoted following. Now, however, they are at a zenith of popularity. Protagonists in movies like Men in Black, Pocahontas, and Otis and Milo. . . ABC's Primetime Live featured a story about a California festival called "Puggo de Mayo" and The New York Times' recent piece on the pug phenomenon. . . they conquered the art world when Sotheby's hosted "The Pug Tea" prior to the auction of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's estate, which included many valuable pieces from their collection of pug paintings and decorative objects.
Celebrity pet photographer Jim Dratfield has compiled a witty album of pug shots, matched with timeless quotations and witty captions from "Litter Pug" and "Pugnacious" to "Pugs and Kisses" and "Sex, Pugs, and Rock and Roll." Cute costumes and whimsical props and settings capture the roguish essence of the pug in a wealth of clever settings, making Pug Shots the definitive homage to a dog that almost defies description--and can't be resisted by dog lovers of any age.
