Pugs is a book in Barron's series of Complete Pet Owner's Manuals . The Pug, which originated in China, is a dog that makes an alert, loyal, and obedient household pet. Written especially to introduce inexperienced and prospective pet owners to the pleasures and duties of pet care, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals also make fine guides to pet care for older children. These heavily illustrated books are filled with helpful information on purchasing, housing, feeding, health care--and where applicable, grooming and training pets. Each book is individually written by an expert--a trainer, breeder, veterinarian, or other animal specialist.
