At Paw Nation, we share equal places in our heart for every breed, of course, but there is something particularly charming about the pug.
What is it about pugs that make them so darn cute? Ugh, that face! So wide, so full of life, emotion, and expression, the pug’s face can say so much with nary a sound. Happiness, sadness, boredom — it’s all there, and photographer Jim Dratfield knows it well. The celebrity pet photographer and author of “PugShots” has returned with “PugNation“, a collection of delicious photos that capture pugs in all their “quirky, bug-eyed, silly splendor.”
An ideal coffee table book for the dog lover in all of us, “PugNation” does not disappoint. Dratfield’s photos are both artful and thoughtful without ever feeling pretentious. It’s clear that he is both great at what he does and exhibits a true appreciation for his subjects. Whether the pug is swimming, costumed, or nonchalantly chillin’ beachside, the photographed pooches are a sight to behold, and Dratfield’s gorgeous imagery details the evidence that the pug mug is, if nothing else, worth a thousand words.
