'A Pug's Guide to Dating' by Gemma Correll

As an owner of two Pugs (and I think they deserve a capital letter), I've thoroughly enjoyed Gemma Correll's two Pug-themed books. The first is called A Pug's Guide to Etiquette, and the latest is A Pug's Guide to Dating.  I can see a whole series taking shape, and that'd be wonderful.  I know Violet and Daisy would appreciate that.

Gemma's illustrations are adorable, and besides her drawings, the dialogue is hilarious.  Truly, when I read her books, I tend to look over at our Pugs, frown and then nod my head, agreeing that they do indeed all act alike.  From smelling a bit dusty, to snoring and licking the floor (no matter what the surface happens to be), Pugs are a breed apart.  But my eyes have been opened in regards to their attitudes toward dating.

For any Pug owner, these are a delight to read and re-read.  Hint: Keep the books in handy reach of your own Pugs, so that they can refer to them frequently.

More, please.

A Pug's Guide to Dating by Gemma Correll is published by Dog 'n' Bone at £9.99 ($14.95 US) and is available from www.cicobooks.com.
