This manual is an essential item for any pug aspiring to be a sophisticated, civilized citizen. Pugs play by their own set of rules. When you want them to sit, they stand; when you want them to stay, they go; and when you want them to stop eating that unidentified item on the floor, well...Traditional schools of canine thought put this behaviour down to a stubborn refusal to be trained that's inherent in the bred. Not so. This behaviour is, in fact, down to an ancient set of rules, passed down from pug generation to pug generation. A Pug's Guide to Etiquette attempts to explain these rules, thereby advancing pug-human relations to hitherto unprecedented heights.

or even better for anyone aspiring to being owned by one of these delightful little creatures. I felt that Gemma Correll was describing my own gorgeous little Pug, Mollie, 100%! She has just had twin puppies, one of which we are keeping, and I will insist to anyone wishing to own the other, that they must purchase this book to ensure they know quite what they are letting themselves in for!
Absolutely everything about this book is fabulous; from the name, the pug illustrations to the prose describing pug behaviour and protocol; with such wit, I quite literally chuckled my whole way through it.
It's a short book, taking only half an hour to read from cover to cover, which is hard-backed and has the same illustration on the hard back as on the dust cover. But I know I'll pick this up and read through over and over again, in fact it will live on or in my bedside cabinet. I was positively giddy whilst reading, this book could not have been written by anyone other than a pug owner.
I was extremely lucky to receive a copy of this book from the publishers Cico Books, whose service was superb, but that has no bearing whatsoever on my five star review. At just under £10.00, and considerably less on Amazon, this makes the ideal gift ~ I know a few friends who will be receiving this book as `thank you' gifts or stocking fillers. Let's face it what can you buy these days for under a tenner, especially of this quality. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :o)

A lovely, quirky little book that is well illustrated. Doesn't take long to read but captures the 'essence' of pug accurately, this could have been describing our pugs.

As a pug owner of over five years now to sisters Violet and Daisy, I can honestly say that this book by Gemma Correll is the most honest portrayal of pug life of any I've ever seen. 'A Pug's Guide to Etiquette' had all of us laughing as we'd read a few pages, point at our pugs and then laugh again. Seems that all pugs are alike, and truly are the funniest breed of dog. No other dog that we've ever owned has seemed more like a human in dog form. Her drawings are wonderful, very simple and clean. And the expressions on her pug faces are spot on. I love this book.
Yes, our dogs lick the air, stand between/on our feet, shed endlessly, have feet that smell of popcorn---though we think ours smelled a bit like tortilla chips as well.
Correll takes from real life by using her own pugs as inspiration. And really, that's the only way to do it since I had no idea pugs were so adorable and addictive until we got ours. Pug owners truly are kindred spirits. Nobody else can really get it.
Thank you Gemma Correll for telling the world how glorious pug ownership is. After this book gets out in public we might just experience a pug shortage.

If you own a Pug, you will love this book. It sums up everything we love about these snorting, cuddly dogs and it confirms what you already know - they have complete control over you!

Could not wait for this book to be delivered, hilarious, wished it was longer! Thought she was describing my own little puggie Betty. I hope Gemma has a second book in the writing :)

My pug is five now and everyone loves her. My mum is obsessed with her so we bought this for her as a gift so she would know what's in store when she minds Molly because not only is it incredibly funny but frighteningly accurate. Considering getting yourself a little curly tail? Check out this book first, it'll tell you all that you have in store.

true and funny
this was for all the pug lovers in my family.
It did the job and made them laugh out loud. Pugs are a bit special, arn't they? And their etiquette needs this study.
