Told in rhyming text, Pig is a greedy pug, who insists on always winning, and throws a tantrum if anything thwarts him--until one day he swallows not only all his food, but his bowl as well and when his friend Trevor saves him he learns a valuable lesson on sharing.

Pig is a selfish pug who does not want to share his toys with his canine housemate, Trevor--until an accident teaches him the value of friendship.

"Pig simply cannot wait for his presents--he's asked for a lot!--so he stays up all night . When Pig discovers that Santa didn't quite bring everything Pig asked for, he takes the jolly old elf to task. A wild sleigh ride ends with Pig decorating a tree in an unexpected way. Trevor--everyone's favourite underdog--makes his usual appearance as the perfect foil for Pig's over-the-top behavior; Pig's exhaustive, hilarious "I WANT:" list is featured in...

Pig the Pug loves to roll in all sorts of disgusting garbage, and track dirty paw prints all over the house; he does not like the idea of a bath, but when his plan the stop up the tub seriously backfires he decides that bath time must be endured--after all he can always find some more garbage to roll in.

Bub the pug has never seen snow before, and when Duchess the cat tells him it is frozen rain he is appalled and does not want to go out even to play with his human, Bella--but the week is about to get worse because a new family has moved in next door, and they apparently have a pet monster (at least if Nutz the squirrel can be believed) and Bella's mother has arranged a play date for Sunday.

When they are not fighting with each other Alfie Wolfe and his twin sister Alfreeda help out with their mother's dog hotel business--but just now he is faced with a friendly pug called Twinkles, and an aggressive Golden Retriever, named Gracie, who seems to regard him as a threat.

"Pig is the world's greediest pug, and on Halloween he is completely out of control, thinking up nasty tricks to play on people who do not give him the treats he thinks he deserves and never sharing with Trevor the sausage dog--until too much chocolate makes him really sick and he finally learns the error of his ways (again)."-- Provided by publisher.

"When Bella wins a poster-making contest at the animal shelter, she gets to be queen of the "Adopt-an-Animal" parade. That can only mean one thing... Bub the pug is her prince! But Bub has no idea what a prince does. Can he figure it out in time to help Bella be the best queen she can be?"--

It is Bub the pug's first trip to the beach, and Bella wants to enter him in a pet-surfing contest, but Bub is scared of the ocean and refuses, so he hopes to make it up to Bella by presenting her with the treasure at the end of the map he found.

When the local animal shelter can't afford new toys, it's up to Bub and his human, Bella, to save the day. But how could they possibly raise the money? A pet wash, of course! Fun and high jinks abound as Bella and Bub learn that running a pet wash is harder and wetter than it looks. With full-color artwork throughout, this funny and charming diary-format early chapter book is perfect for anyone who believes a furry pal is the best kind of friend.
