Pugnaciously charming, these playful pugs have made their mark in art and literature. From Les Trois Magots' hand-coloured etching in 1791 to Charles Dickens' Sergeant Buzfuz in The Pickwick Papers, pugs have long been celebrated for their feisty spirit. Even prehistoric creatures like the Triceratops seem to have a soft spot for these pint-sized pugnacious pals. In the realm of games, Happy Families Playing Cards feature Mr. And Mrs. Pug, as well as Master and Miss Pug, adding a touch of whimsy to card nights. Coreopsis Geese and Figaro Alb's E De Girardin capture their vibrant personalities in black and white. Pugs: the pugnacious pack that continues to capture hearts and imaginations.
