Summary: Sweet Book
Comment: This dog is not a pug. I think that's part of the "joke" of the owner not knowing anything about the dog when he bought it. It's definitely a frenchie. Cute illustrations, and a great story. I highly recommend for both children and the adult french bulldog lover in your life.

Summary: Pugdog love
Comment: Just look at the cover of PUGDOG, you'll fall in love.
PUGDOG is a winning character, (regardless of her breed) and a winning book. To the critics concerned that this "Pugdog" is not a pug, I have this to recommend you do: re-read the first two lines of the book! They explain everything. It reads. "Mike didn't know much about dogs when he got his puppy. He named it Pugdog, just because" Mike DOESN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT DOGS, he doesn't even know the sex of his dog - how could he accurately know the breed?
I think the people that get caught up in the exact breed of this lovable dog are confused, and TOTALLY missing the message of gender identification and unconditional love that is PUGDOG. Not to get too nit-picky here, but aren't pugs officially referred to as "pugs" not "pugdogs"??
I'm a defender of this book because PUGDOG is so unusual in its content and message. How many picture books have you read that deal with gender issues? And in a smart, accessible, and not-didactic fashion??
Add to all this the fact my son ADORES Pugdog - whatever her breed.
Highly, highly recommended.
Just look at the cover of PUGDOG. You'll fall in love, guaranteed.

Summary: A story worth drooling over!
Comment: Pugdog is incredibly charming, beautifully illustrated, and very educational for children on gender identification. While some may fret over the accuracy of the author's illustrations of a technically correct Pug, I found the story to be perfect in its true aim: dispelling gender stereotypes and providing both parent and child with a funny and entertaining story. My own Pug (an relentless drooler by the way) has found sudden attention from my nephew, who will no doubt never be troubled by issues of gender in his life.
All who read this story, both young and old, will be won over by Pugdog's charm. I applaud the author for her beautiful artwork and wonderful story.
