Description
A small step for man, but a giant leap for a pug - Pugs in Space celebrates all that is
gravity-free about Earth's best loved canine. Admittedly, pugs were not the first dogs
in space - Laika beat them to that - but these days they are definitely up there with
the stars, repeatedly being voted not just Best in Show but Best in Orbit.
Pugs in Space presents 45 pugs that have gone out of this world, from the first pug
on the Moon, to weightless pugs on the International Space Station, to taking a pug
for a spacewalk - and you really do need to keep it on a lead for that.
Each spread features a photomontage with a caption and also a space fact and a pug
fact. Light years ahead of mere earthbound competitors, Pugs in Space is a fun book
of 45 images of pugs boldly going where no dog has gone before.
