With 601 members Philly is home to the third largest pug meetup group, ranking only behind pug meetup groups in New York and Austin, Texas. A local Philly paper tries to understand how the charming personality of the pug inspires owners to pamper, dress and seek the companionship of other owners like no other dog breed.
The magical qualities of a pug is tough to explain and I don’t think anyone truly understands until they have had the joy of being owned by a pug.

On April 10th the ASPCA will be celebrating its 140th anniversary. To help the ASPCA celebrate many buildings in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles will be illuminated in orange on April 10th.
If you don’t live in the Big Apple or the Windy City don’t worry you can still help the ASPCA celebrate such an incredible milestone. The first 20 people to send us a picture of their pug wearing orange will receive an ASPCA orange wristband. You can send your entries to puglines@ownedbypugs.com. Please limit submissions to one entry per family. Also, please be sure to add the e-mail address puglines@ownedbypugs.com to your address books so that if we contact you as a winner our e-mail will not be gobbled up by any spam filters.
Be sure to check out the ASPCA’s photo gallery of pets and humans going orange to help celebrate the ASPCA’s anniversary as well.
