Letters to a Young Pug
By Wilson the Pug with Nancy Levine


New York, NY (PRWEB) September 11, 2006 — Everyone’s favorite Taoist pug is back! Wilson the Pug, the world’s most famous canine philosopher, is getting ready to assume the position of Master of the Taoist Pug lineage, but before he does so he must train his successor, a young pup named Homer. In Letters to a Young Pug (Viking Studio/Penguin Group (USA); October 2006; ISBN: 0-670-03809-1; $19.95), a series of charming, humorous and enlightening photographs and letters, Wilson passes on his vast knowledge and advice on living a Taoist pug life to the well-intentioned — but less responsible — Homer.

Letters to a Young Pug is the latest book featuring Wilson and Homer, stars of The Tao of Pug and Homer for the Holidays. These two pugs have captured the hearts of thousands of readers and visitors to their website. In Letters to a Young Pug, they only get more adorable — and more profound. This book is perfect for dog-lovers, photography buffs and everyday philosophers.
