Puggy love
Please click here to read today's Happy Wag newspaper column all about the love of pugs.
While working on this story I met some great people who are dedicated to helping pugs find new homes. If you are thinking about adding a pug to your family, I would suggest looking at the Web site for Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescueas a first stop in your journey. Not only can you see photos of some pretty cute puggies looking for homes, like Coco Chanel pictured here, but you can get a lot of good information about this breed to make sure it's right for your family.
Pugs are companion dogs. They need to be with the people in their lives and really become part of the family. While they are the polar opposite of my greyhounds in physcial appearance, their need to be with people and their low tolerance for outdoor life is nearly identical. Puggies, like greyhounds, are house pooches and they thrive on attention.
I thank photojournalist Stephanie Klein-Davis for introducing me to these dedicated pug people. Click here to see Stephanie's videoall about puggy love.
