I guess a doggy will eat less than a horse and take less space, so the owner decided to get a dog instead of a horse. Especailly, dog can watch your house for you. How smart?? 這主人一定超小氣. 想養隻馬來運東西.太暫空間.又吃的... [Read More]

Hopefully, it's not too heavy for the little guy. Cute picture anyway. Blue and orange are complimentary colours!

A pug as a draft dog?

When I get my newfie, I'm going to have him haul home my groceries. They're heavy! My weekly load from the farmer's market always includes about 5 pounds of carrot tops and fennel tops for two certain long-eared creatures I won't name, and since it is now Fall in California--yeah, we are two months behind the rest of the world--nowadays it includes some rather hefty pumpkins and winter squashes, as well!

Cute or sad? that's the question.

Nice!
I guess thats in an area where pups are allowed. Sorry to be a downer...I just get so upset when I learned about the fate of thousands of people's pet pups in china due to 2 cases of rabies.

what a sweet dog. at least he does a lot more than some dead beats out there

I nub pugs! And trisha, that's the first thing I thought of, too. :(

I like that the dog is not the first thing you see in the photo. It looks more like a scene of Japan and then you see pup--sort of like Where's Waldo.

I love the reaction shots on the other folks. Cute is a universal language.

That is one hard-working pug!

nico
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 10:27 AM

he's all, "I'm haulin' onions people, move out the way!" LOL!

Might wanna inspect your cart, there, puggle... looks like it's sprung a few leeks.

(Well, nobody else had said it yet.)

Theo
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 10:51 AM

oh the one hand i'm like "awww. kinda sad for the little dude to pull a heavy load."

but on the other hand i'm thinking "my mom's boston terrier could drag ME when we go for walks. and pugs have similar builds." *tuuuug tuuuuug*

Man, those are some LAZY people, that's all I gotta say. There they are, takin' Sunday strolls with their hands behind their backs, la-de-da'ing down the street, and there's this tiny pug, hauling a friggin' cart of vegetables! WTF?

*sung in lounge-lizard fashion*

She works hard for the money! So haaaard for it, honey! She works hard for the money so you better treat her right!

He looks like he's prancing along. I think he's very happy to be pulling his weight.

MamaDawn
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 11:07 AM

C'mon - look at the reactions he's getting from people around. Lil pug's loving it.

Doh dee doh, time to cart tha onions. Doh dee doh.

Jen Barnett

Such an industrious little guy! I initially thought it was a peke, not a pug!

Cesar Milan "The Dog Whisperer" says that ALL dogs are happiest when you give them a job and make them work for their food and affection. It could be as simple as carrying your water bottle for you when you go for walkies. And it does seem to make them better behaved (at least on his show it does). I Love Cesar!

Martha in Washington
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 11:35 AM

I wish we had a closer shot of his wee little face. Or better yet, a vid of him tugging along the onions.

Teri
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 11:42 AM

I'm sorry, but exploiting animals for food or labor is never cool! It's one thing to have your dog carry his own water bottle...it's quite another to strap him to a cart and make him carry what looks to be a quite heavy load of veggies. Look how much bigger than he it is!

Kelly
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 11:46 AM

Better to pull the groceries than *be* the groceries. (*ducks*) Hey, the joke was inevitable.

And Mona, that's China, not Japan. The writing in the corner is Chinese; the vegetables are Chinese; and the people are dressed in Chinese styles.

All not look same.

Our pugs' tails uncurl (i know, SO cute) when they get really tired. This little guy's curly-cue is up like usual, and he does seem to have a spring in his step, so maybe he really is okay with it. Sled dogs practically beg to be able to do their thing...it might be unusual but there's no reason a pug can't have the same industrious personality :)

His human 'rents are giggling. I don't think this is actual work, peeps. It's a cute setup. It's quite like teaching your dog to fetch the newspaper. Yes, you're perfectly capable of getting it yourself. No, you aren't lazy. So why have your dog do it? Because it's CUTE!

Arvay

ROFLMAO @CP

yep. Dogs do love having jobs. This is one of the cutest pix I've seen on CO in a while.

Punkpie, your comment summed it up wonderfully for me!

XOXOXOX, Meg!

Oh, hey, the display here isn't too wide any more. I lose the very ends of the stuff in the right column, but I can see all the words for to click upon them. w00t!

lurkertype
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 12:04 PM

Except, of course, as soon as I posted that, the entire right column disappeared. Baroo?

Well, at least I'm not pulling veggies through wintery streets for a photo-op.

Kelly...for cryin out loud....IT'S A DOG! DOG.

Dogs LOVE to have a purpose. That is one happy pug!

Read about the real dogs abuses in Asian cities, then you will know what constitues abuse...

A++++++ to the Pack-Pug!

Sorry to post a sad-hammie threadjack, but Javi has posted that Nana has passed away. See www.baruchito.com.

Now who will fight the evil curtains?

Laurie C
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 12:20 PM

At least I see one dog that's not suffering from obesity like most of the lil' guys I see around here. Kind of funny to think about since China's starting to notice an issue with weight problems.

I personally think it's cool that he's doing something so awesome and glad he's not doing other things that some of these pampered dogs used to do instead, like catch diseased vermin.

Crap. Nana's passed on? Poor little thing.

kar
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 12:40 PM

oh damn, I'm sitting here crying over a little hamster a half a world away...
just imagine what I'm like when one of my own kittehs crosses the rainbow bridge...

ceejoe
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 12:45 PM

sorry for the threadjack.
Qte little working doggie!
My animal communicator tells me that cats like to feel like they have jobs too. So when I leave the house, I tell my dominant male kitteh to watch the house while mama's gone. >^o.O^<

ceejoe
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 12:58 PM

This is fantastic. What a great dog.

My brothers and I tied our black lab to a sled when we were little, thinking he'd pull us around in the snow. Instead, he sat down on the sled, too, and we had to pull him around the yard. He wouldn't have been very good at hauling groceries.

AmyH
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 12:59 PM

Yeah, Ceejoe. I tell Elvis to do the dishes and vacuum up his hair while I'm gone and nothing ever gets done. Lazy old cat.

Theo - This pug in Peking
Has a cart leeking?
Or is he, a deliv'ry boy
Bringing home, the bok choy?

pyrit
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 01:09 PM

LOL! At first I was like WTF? Then I thought ... no wait ... he's wearing a tee!

What a cute lil' delivery boy! I'd give him a large tip!

Subhangi
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 01:14 PM

Ceejoe,
RIGHT!?!?!!?
i'm tearin up at work in Ohio over a stranger hamster in Japan!! I'll have to be sent straight to the funny farm when Maximus Decimus Bunnius passes over the bunny bridge....

BUT, he's still goin strong at 9 yrs old!

Theo,
SUPREME leek joke!

Nice to see that pugster is not welsh-ing on his duties.

Aubrey
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 01:24 PM

Opt2 Adopt, that is the power of the internet. I feel so attached to Javi's hammies. It's also the power Javi has to bring us into his home with them.

Laurie C
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 01:28 PM

I'm on the road,
stealing ur groceriez.

MamaDawn
 |  Dec 18, 2006 at 01:31 PM

Laurie C - exactly! That's why I'm crying, I think, because of how much Javi loves them!

Or maybe it's because I'm just a big emotional crybaby... :o)
