Customer Reviews

Great coffeetable book

I am not even a dog owner but have a friend with 2 pugs and saw this on his coffeetable. It is hilarious. It is adorable!! I can't tell you how novel and funny it is. I remarked that the people who thought up the entries for the book must have been rolling on the floor! One of my favorites is Notorious P.U.G. Worth every penny, and done very well. High quality publication, colors are outstanding.

TOO MANY STARS TO COUNT--Very creative and very clever!

FABULOUS PUGS is a must own for pug fans and animal lovers. Lisa Knapp's pug is indeed a super model: she can wear anything and look fantastic! Now, my pug has a crush on her! The outfits--extensively researched--are incredibly stunning and authentic. Lisa is stellar when it comes to detail; each and every costume her pug wears is meticulously made; moreover, she has an excellent sense of film and history. This book is a great gift for anybody who appreciates extraordinary creativity. I give FABULOUS PUGS as many stars as there are personas portrayed in this absolutely adorable and beautifully done book--BRAVO! Pati Liotta, Jupiter FL

Great fun for anyone with a sense of humor

This book is written with comedic flair and terrific photography. Yes, the outfits are well-made and well-researched, but the book's charm lies in the wonderful humor of this delightfully deadpan, patient Pug, Charlie, acting out the larger-than-life historical roles her "mom" has designed for her. First Pug on the Moon? Queen Victoriapug? Andy Warholpug? Marilyn Monroepug? Charlie portrays them all with a dignity totally at odds with her fabulously-dressed situation. You don't have to like Pugs or dogs to enjoy this book -- just bring your appreciation of the absurd, and you will be entertained!

Fabulous, indeed!

This is a must-have for any pug-lover, especially pug lovers who love to buy their pugs outfits! Lisa creates all of her pug Charlie's outfits from scratch, which is amazing considering the elaborate nature of some of the costumes. The photos in this collection are fantastic, and Charlie is a great model. She is equally adept at tackling Marilyn Monroe or Genghis Khan! Even non-pug lovers will marvel at the beautiful photos and costumes and at the sweetness of Charlie.
