There is nothing I like more than a cool pug design. A while back we set out to create a unique pug character made out of the letters “p-u-g-s” so there would be no confusion as to our favorite breed. I am extremely happy to announce that the Pugs Pug design is available on a variety of different items such as t-shirts, stickers and bibs in six different colors. Check out all the items in the OwnedByPugs store.
Pick your favorite and spell it out the world - you’re a pug lover!

The film is great for any pug lover that just can’t get enough of pugs!

I was in a gas station the other day when I noticed a rack of sunglasses that were called Pugs Eyewear. Since I have a fascination with pugs, I of course went over to check out the display. I snapped a picture of the sunglasses with my camera phone and when I got home I did a little more research. I was able to find the company’s website - Pugs Gear.
In the store I thought the logo looked a bit like a bulldog and when I went to the site I was surprised to see pictures of a bulldog. I looked for an about page to see if I could get more info, but I couldn’t find it. Who knows, maybe the bulldog’s name is “Pugs”.
Oh, by the way, the sunglasses are for humans.
